Callum Smith Targets Becoming A Two Weight World Champion
💥On Saturday night Callum Smith delivered one of the knockouts of the year on the undercard of Joshua vs Usyk 🥊
🇬🇧The 31-year-old rebound in a big way following his defeat to Mexican superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in December, last year, where his lost his WBA super middleweight world title 🌍
⚖️ In his first fight at light-heavyweight (175-pounds), we saw him produced a savage spectacular knockout, a second-round finish that was so brutal it left Lenin Castillo shaking on the canvas 🥴
🎓With new trainer Buddy McGirt, Callum Smith has set himself a challenge: “I do believe I’m good enough to be a two-weight world champion,” he told the Liverpool Echo 📰
💥”My next fight is for the world title. If I have to have one more or two more, that will be down to my team” 🎯
↗️” I’m aiming for the top three champions and I’ll beat whoever I have to for me to get there. Dimitriy Bivol is with Matchroom, so that’s the easiest one to make. Joe Smith is with Top Rank. I do believe I can beat any of them.” 📈
📊The lightweight division is a tough division with current champions Artur Beterbiev (IBF & WBC), Dmitry Bivol (WBA) and Joe Smith (WBO) as well as top contenders Gilberto Ramirez, Marcus Browne, Badou Jack and fellow Brit Joshua Buatsi… Strangely enough Boxrec has Callum Smith as the number one light-heavyweight but that’s due to their computer scoring system and that’s not Callum Smith’s fault. Callum Smith is a welcomed addition to the light-heavyweight division and will be a tough challenge for all the champions… But imo, Beterbiev & Bivol are high level operators and will be difficult to beat, for all those in the division 🎆
👑 Can Smith win a world title at light-heavyweight and become a two weight world champion?? What’s your thoughts 💭
