Russian Artur Beterbiev shared his expectations for the fight with British boxer Callum Smith.
Beterbiev will defend his WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight championship belts against WBC mandatory challenger Smith on January 13 in Quebec, Canada. Beterbiev has 19 first victories in 19 fights. Smith has 29 victories and one defeat, which he suffered in 2020 against Mexican Saul Alvarez.
“I look forward to every fight. We prepared for this fight as usual, one hundred percent. I am fine now. As for the pressure from the public, I don’t feel it, now I’m focused on the fight and I have something to think about. I am happy to have dedicated my life to boxing and sport in general.
What are my plans after Saturday’s fight? Ask me about it after the fight,” Beterbiev said at a press conference.
