WBA interim-middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. is predicting a one-sided fight on Saturday night, when Callum Smith collides with Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
The bout, which is going to have the WBC, WBA super middleweight titles at stake, takes place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Smith was last seen in the ring back in November of 2019, when he struggled to win a twelve round decision over John Ryder.
Eubank believes a lot of Smith's weaknesses were exposed against Ryder - weaknesses that he expects Canelo to exploit in the ring.
"After watching Smith against John Ryder, that exposed a lot of weaknesses in his game," Eubank Jr. told Sky Sports.
"Canelo is a better, more advanced version of Ryder. Smith will have a lot of trouble in this fight. I don't see him being effective.
"But he does have heavy hands so that would be the only way he has success - but Canelo has a good chin. Smith is a legitimate world champion so it is the right fight for Canelo."
Canelo still holds the WBA's middleweight title - which technically makes Eubank Jr. a potential mandatory challenger.
Eubank wants to keep pressing him for the fight - until they collide or Canelo decides to vacate the WBA's full title.
"Canelo holds the full WBA middleweight title and I am the WBA interim champion and No 1 contender for his belt," Eubank Jr said.
"He is the man that I am looking at. I want to fight him and I'll continue to say it until he fights me or he gives up that belt. At some point, he has to get in the ring with me or give up that belt.
"No 1 is Canelo, No 2 is Gennadiy Golovkin and No 3 is Jermall Charlo. They all have middleweight titles. The Golovkin fight was supposed to happen years ago and I've always regretted that and wanted to make it right. Charlo is also an interesting fight which fans would want to see. I'm gunning for anyone with a world title."
