There’s a little bit of history there and it will be nice to get revenge, but first and foremost I’ve got a job to do and that’s beat Canelo Alvarez.
“I’ve watched every single fight Canelo’s ever had, but it’s a bit different when you get in there with him,” Callum Smith told the AP.
It has given Smith little more than a month to prepare, with restrictions stemming from the coronavirus pandemic making the pre-fight camp even harder.
