CALLUM SMITH HEADLINES HUGE LIVERPOOL FIGHT NIGHT Callum Smith takes on Hadillah Mohoumadi in a WBC World Super- Middleweight final eliminator at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on April 2, live on Sky Sports, on a huge night of action. Unbeaten Smith is targeting a clash with WBC champion Badou Jack but must first dismiss Frenchman Mohoumadi, who also puts his European title on the line in the bout. ‘Mundo’s’ last action was in the Echo Arena in an all- Liverpool battle for the British and Commonwealth titles against Rocky Fielding, and he is straight back into action in a great fight, taking on former European champion Christopher Rebrasse, the Frenchman that handed tough examinations to both Smith and three-time World title challenger George Groves. Scotty Cardle and Sean ‘Masher’ Dodd meet again in a rematch for Cardle’s British Lightweight title following their epic encounter in Manchester in November, where Cardle clung onto his belt with a final round stoppage following a career-best performance from Liverpool man Dodd.

Callum Smith – Erik Skoglund to Open World Boxing Super
Callum Smith – Erik Skoglund to open World Boxing Super Series on September 16th in Liverpool Callum Smith will meet Erik Skoglund in the 1st bout of the World Boxing Super Series on September 16th in Liverpool, England, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com. “A ring is a ring no matter where it is but, of course, I’m happy to be fighting in Liverpool,” Smith said. “‘This is my home, and this is where all my best performances as a professional have been. I like fighting in Liverpool, and with the crowd behind me, I will have an added advantage on Sept. 16. “There are no easy fights in this tournament. It’s the best fighting the best, but I believe I made the right decision in Monte Carlo. That’s not to say Skoglund is not a good fighter. I think he is a very good fighter. His record speaks for itself, but I think stylistically, he was the right choice for me. It will be a tough test. On paper, Skoglund is probably the best fighter I’ve ever faced, and I will need to be at my best to beat him. But every time I’ve been up against it in my career and every time there’s been that fear factor, it’s brought out the best in me and I’m hoping for the same on Sept. 16.” “This is a huge opportunity for me to prove myself at the highest level,” Skoglund said. “Callum Smith is a top-level fighter and one of the tournament favorites.

Billy Joe Saunders Signs with Matchroom Boxing
BILLY JOE SAUNDERS SIGNS WITH MATCHROOM BOXING Undefeated WBO Super-Middleweight World Champion Billy Joe Saunders has signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, with his next fight to be announced next week. Saunders (28-0, 13 KOs) became a two-weight World Champion with a shutout points win over Shefat Isufi in Stevenage earlier this year, outclassing his Serbian opponent over 12 rounds to land the WBO 168lbs title. The Hatfield southpaw’s first World title came against Irish fight legend Andy Lee at Manchester Arena in December 2015 when he floored the former Champion twice in the third round on route to a majority decision to claim the WBO Middleweight crown. Successful defences followed against Artur Akavov, Willie Monroe Jr and, most notably, a career-best performance against David Lemieux on away soil in Canada where the 29-year-old star dismantled former IBF ruler Lemieux over 12 masterful rounds. A former Southern Area, Commonwealth, British, WBO International and European Champion at Middleweight, Saunders is confident that his move to Matchroom Boxing will secure megafighs with new stablemates Callum Smith and Demetrius Andrade, as well as DAZN fighters Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. “This move is going to benefit me massively,” said Saunders. “Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing can put me right out on the branch for those big fights. I’m on Golovkin and Canelo’s turf. I’ve made this move to make them fights because I’m sick of hearing their bullsh*t excuses. Those fights make financial sense and they make sense because we’re on the same network.
