It looks like Quebec city.
I was hoping for Montreal so I could attend.

Smith doesn't care about his career I guess...lol

Montreal is still a hike for me (when I was living in Toronto I went for Bhop/Pascal and a couple others) but I’m close to the Michigan border now. QC is over 1000km

When's the last time Top Rank and Matchroom did business? I'm sure they've matched up a few times in the past few years, but I can't remember them.

It’s mostly an issue for big fights. Hearn actively tried to get this done to avoid Bivol/Beterbiev

Matchroom sacrificed one of their guys in hopes for the Canelo rematch.

Perhaps Callum will run into a less fearsome opponent after the fight... Maybe Freddy Krueger?

I hear you! Beterbiev vs Bivol would be worthy of such trek across Ontario and Quebec.

Smith by 1 punch KO


Beterbiev is not taking Callum's left hook or right straight.
