Beterbiev trains to face Smith

WBC/WBO/IBF light heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev takes on former world champion Callum Smith on Saturday, January 13 at the Videotron Center in Quebec City, Canada.

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.

Arthur is doing great preparation and opened his training camp to the media from Quebec, Canada, where he showed that he is in excellent condition for the important confrontation that he will hold.
