Callum Smith got his wish.
The super middleweight titleholder from Liverpool, England will tangle with the No. 1 attraction in boxing — Canelo Alvarez — on Dec. 19 at a site yet to be determined.
Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) is about a 4-1 favorite, according to BetMGM. However, Smith, much taller than Alvarez and a capable, experienced all-around fighter, is perceived by many to be a legitimate threat to the Mexican star.
In this episode of Boxing with Chris Mannix, courtesy of DAZN, the host interviews Smith (27-0, 19 KOs) about the advantages he believes he will have in the ring and more.
Here’s what he had to say.
