Smith was the least tested WBSS semifinalist in terms of having faced quality opponents, as well as the youngest at 27. The undefeated Brit is one of four fighting Smith brothers.
WBSS क्वार्टरफाइनल में, Smith took a 12-round unanimous decision from previously unbeaten Erik Skoglund to capture the World Boxing Council (WBC) Diamond super middleweight title.
“I gave an interview last week and said it was great there have been no drop-outs,” स्मिथ ने कहा कि. “Looks like I spoke too soon. We got the call as we were boarding the plane. I am committed to fighting शनिवार and will fight whoever the World Boxing Super series puts in front of me.”
The 34-year-old Holzken was preparing to fight Dmitri Chudinov में शनिवार को WBSS Super Middleweight Substitute Fight. He has had only four scheduled 10-round matches during his five-year professional career, the most notable being a win by 10-round unanimous decision in 2016 कतम Farouk Daku (20-9-1) for the vacant BeNeLux super middleweight title.
Holzken is determined to make the most of this opportunity by upsetting Smith, despite his obvious leap in class. “I’ve been waiting for this chance to come,” Holzken commented. “I signed up as a substitute fighter, so I’m in great shape and prepared for शनिवार. I’ve watched Callum fight many times. I study everyone in my weight class. He’s a good, ठोस लड़ाकू. We’re both big body punchers. It will make for an excellent fight. कैलम, you better be ready, because I am, and I’m coming to beat you!”
