Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs), boxing’s only current world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio, is coming off a stirring January eighth-round TKO over Anthony Yarde in Yarde’s hometown of London.

Smith (29-1, 21 KOs), of Liverpool, England, is the former WBA super middleweight world champion. He has won two fights since moving up to light heavyweight following a decision loss to Canelo Alvarez in December 2020.
