It was always excruciating work to make the 168-pound threshold but for Callum Smith, the rewards were far too great.
For a number of years now, Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) claimed that he was finding his weight cuts more and more difficult. Still, after capturing the WBA and Ring Magazine super middleweight world titles and winning the Super Six Series, Smith continued to make the sacrifice. However, after suffering the first defeat of his career in his last ring appearance at the hands of Canelo Alvarez, Smith is now ready to give his body a reprieve.
According to promoter Eddie Hearn, the British native will now make his return to the ring on either the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk on September 25th or on a separate card in Liverpool on October 9th.
