I came here to book a place in the final,” Smith uthe. “I have had a really good camp and I have improved on stuff from the last fight and people will see a better performance from me. People will see that I am good enough to win the tournament. I just want to win, win well, and look good doing it.
I always knew from the start of the tournament that there was a massive opportunity that George (Groves) would be waiting in the final. Kodwa, okwamanje, I am fully focused on Nieky, and then I can talk more about Groves after the fight.

Ngakho, this is a lifetime opportunity and I will take the opportunity with both hands, Ngikulungele!
Callum is a good fighter and respectful guy, but I am a big believer, and I believe I can get the victory ngomgqibelo. I am going to do my best to beat him and my best to win the whole tournament.
