Take 2: KO King Artur Beterbiev to Defend Light Heavyweight Crown Against Callum Smith January 13 at Videotron Centre in Quebec City & LIVE on ESPN Beterbiev-Smith and a co-feature will be broadcast LIVE on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. PT/7 p.m. PT Tickets ON SALE NOW via www.ticketmaster.ca

QUEBEC CITY, Canada (Aug. 8, 2023) — WBC/WBO/IBF light heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev now has a date to defend his crown. After recent dental surgery forced Beterbiev to postpone his Aug. 19 title defense against former world champion Callum Smith, the two will now meet Saturday, Jan. 13 at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada. Promoted by Eye of the Tiger and Top Rank, in association with Matchroom Boxing, tickets are on sale now via www.ticketmaster.ca. “It’s a few months later than originally planned, but I am thrilled that Artur Beterbiev will have a chance to defend his titles in front of the incredible Quebec City fans,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “Artur has a clean bill of health, and I know Callum, a supremely talented former champion, will be at his best on January 13th.” “I’m very pleased that the camps came to an agreement quickly, so we can go ahead with this light heavyweight championship super fight,” said Eye of the Tiger president Camille Estephan. “It’s going to heat up this January in Quebec City.” Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs), boxing’s only current world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio, has made seven title defenses since capturing the IBF strap in November 2017. He is coming off January’s stirring eighth-round TKO over Anthony Yarde in Yarde’s hometown of London. Smith (29-1, 21 KOs), from Liverpool, England, is the former Ring Magazine and WBA super middleweight world champion. He has won two fights since moving up to light heavyweight following a decision defeat to Canelo Alvarez in December 2020.

a year off and going into the ring vs someone who also has a respectable punch as well as a size advantage and is in prime..all at the age of 39...beterbiev is the most dangerous fighter to me but this shyt will and may catch up to him

Callum might be the most talented Smith but he doesn't have the heart of Liam or Paul.

I still think he blitzes Smith but this is a significant amount of time for sure. Bivol going to have an easy time with him by the time they fight
