‘Callum Smith will fight Anthony Dirrell for the WBC championship’

Callum Smith

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.

โ€œCallum Smith will fight Anthony Dirrell for the championship,โ€ WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told Boxing News. โ€œThere 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. โ€œCallum Smith weโ€™re just waiting to see whatโ€™s happening with his fight with Dirrell and the WBC. Itโ€™s a long drawn out process. We should have something soon,โ€ Joe said.

โ€œItโ€™s been a lot of stopping and starting. I think sometimes when you donโ€™t win purse bids, youโ€™re at the mercy of promoters who do win it. Callumโ€™s in the gym, heโ€™s ticking over and hopefully weโ€™ll have news on that fight very soon.โ€
