[AKAcronym]

Please make this fight sooner than later.

Should be a good scrap. Favor Benavidez to win, especially after the way Smith looked last fight

[Clegg]

Your link is just a recap of things the WBC said in October. Benavidez still having 2 opponents before having to face Smith.

And I'm sure he could unify with Plant before that even so it could be a ways out

LMAO. Callum Smith has been trying to fight Benavidez for 12months now but WBC kept blocking it and Benavidaz kept ducking the fight. But after Callum Smith looked terrible against Ryder - the corrupt and disgusting WBC quickly ordered a fight. You can't make this ***** up.

Fu..ck out of here, Callum Smith would be ****** to stop pushing for the Canelo fight, now that it's obvious he's the next in line for a big payday and take this crap. Where was the order when Callum Smith was literally begging for it a few months ago? Clowns.

WBC is the most corrupt body in boxing. If Dillian Whyte looks terrible against Wach on Saturday - I'm sure WBC will quickly order his mandatory against Wilder as well. LMAO.

Huh didn’t Benavidez just get the title back..

Also didnt Whyte just gets popped for being dirty what happened to that.

They didn’t order him to fight smith, they have approved Smith’s request to be made mandatory. But only after Benavidez has had two fights (Yildrim - failed Vada drug test - Mandatory) and another voluntary shot (unification with Plant).

Those were the original schedule by Team Benavidez/PBC and the WBC are just confirming that.

Benavidez will have two fights. A mandatory and a voluntary. That voluntary will more than likely be a unification against Caleb Plant.

That fight won't happen until 2021 if it happens at all.

Damn you people don't read anything past the headline.

War benavidez!

Smith gonna duck though,

WBC protecting Benavidez from Plant. He duckin bro!!

“Callum Smith defended his title on November 23 and is now confirmed as mandatory to the WBC title as per the conditions described above.”

Does that not mean the WBC ordered the fight? LOL

[Tatabanya]

Quite likely Smith will lose to someone else before fighting Benavidez.
