Background
Callum Smith, who is 27-0 and undefeated, beat John Ryder last year to retain his WBA (Super) and The Ring super-middleweight titles in his last outing albeit controversially so will be looking for a career best performance on foreign soil to show he is the best in the division at 160 and add the WBC belt to his titles.
Saul Canelo Alvarez took more glory during his 56th fight when he defeated a superb Sergey Kovalev in his last bout to become a four-weight world champion.
He’ll be looking to add Smith’s title – plus the vacant WBC super middleweight crown – to his collection on Saturday night.
