Smith vs. Morrell negotiations

Hearn Says Would Be Preferred Smith (31-2, 22 Kos) to Be Fighting One Of The Light Heavyweight World Than Defending His Wbo Interim 175-LB Title Against Morrell (12-1, 9 kos). However, The World Boxing Ordered Smith To Defend His Interim Title Whole Champion Champion Bivol Is Fighting A Trilogy With Artur Beterbiev.

Callum, 35, has Little Choice But to Face The Cuban Talent, Morrell. If He vacates His Wbo Interim Belt, He’d Lose His Golden Ticket Needed to Get a title Shot Against The Winner of the Bivol-Beterbiev 3 Trilogy. It’s A Risky Fight for Smith, But Hoping That He Can Produce a Similar Perfiliation to His Last Fight When He Defeat Joshua Buko A 12-Round Decision in A War Last February in Riyadh.

“We’ve been talking to PBC. Callum Smith is Fighting. Obviously, He’d Prefer It to A World title Rather Than His (WBO Light Heavyweight), but it’s Great Fight,” Said Promoter Eddie Hearn Pro Boxing Fans About The David Morrell vs. Callum Smith Contest That is Being Targeted for November 22nd in Riyadh.

“We’re Negotiating That Fight with PBC and His Excellency (Turki Alalshikh). I Hope to Wrap Up The Callum Smith Vs. David Morrell Very Soon,” Said Hearn.
