Comments Thread For: Callum Smith is Open To Moving Up To Fight Sergey Kovalev

[Bronx2245]

This is just typical Joe Gallagher. He talks about fights that aren’t realistically going to happen to try and keep his fighters relevant.
He done exact same he started talking about Andre Ward coming back to fight Smith. Nonsense...

I was just talking about this regarding Dillian Whyte. He's with Matchroom, who has Joshua, Usyk, and Michael Hunter, yet he's talking about Breazeale and Ortiz! Why? You have premium options in your own stable? "Nonsense..."

Whyte just feels aggrieved over not getting a fair deal go the AJ fight and rightly so tbf. Matchroom have done a fantastic job building Dillian Whyte but if he feels he can’t get the deal he wants for an AJ rematch whilst signed to Matchroom, he may be forced to go an alternate route.

I’d be down for Usyk vs Whyte though, winner gets called as WBO mandatory. I don’t think Team Whyte fancy that fight though.

Smith's team have mentioned some big names, GGG, Bivol, Ramirez, Plant. They've said they're just after big names but I'd just like to see them get a fight sorted in the near future.

I know they wanted (needed) a big name if the fight was to be at Anfield, but Gallagher said Anfield is more expensive than Wembley. So I'd assume that was out of the picture now anyway.

Dang I mean he should at least try to unify before that zurdo, plant and soon to be dirrell are the other champions. Zurdo kinda said the same about moving up I understand it completely, but 168 is wide open in 2 years anyone can become undisputed at super middleweight that would be on my mind at least make the effort.

Kovalev (or rather Duva) already has contractual obligations with Top Rank.

... what "contractual obligations"? I didn't find anything on this...

[P4Pdunny]

why not eh?

February 6, 2019:

Whyte is also ranked in the number one spot by the WBO, but he could also be passed over in favor of Oleksandr Usyk - who could become the WBO mandatory challenger to Joshua if the undisputed cruiserweight champion moves up in weight.

"Who? No-one knows what that guy is," said Whyte.

He was fighter of the year in 2018! We know what he is!

Yeah they don’t want none of Usyk. I think he’s a major problem for anyone at HW.
Whyte saying no one knows who he is is such a ****** statement, even the casuals over here know who he is, he just fought Bellew on PPV over here😂😂

Callum and Zurdo should stay at 168 and fight each other.

Beat the Mexican first. The brit beater. Who beat the likes of khan, Fielding, hatton.
He must think brits are a soft touch.
