CALLUM SMITH has been patiently waiting for his shot at the WBC super-middleweight title against Anthony Dirrell. It will happen but there is, as yet, no fixed date.
โCallum Smith will fight Anthony Dirrell for the championship,โ WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told Boxing News. โThere were some issues with the contracts and we intervened to try and make everything and everybody happy.โ
While Smith bides his time, he has been in the gym with trainer Joe Gallagher. โCallum Smith weโre just waiting to see whatโs happening with his fight with Dirrell and the WBC. Itโs a long drawn out process. We should have something soon,โ Joe said.
โItโs been a lot of stopping and starting. I think sometimes when you donโt win purse bids, youโre at the mercy of promoters who do win it. Callumโs in the gym, heโs ticking over and hopefully weโll have news on that fight very soon.โ
