It’s the same now. I’ve got a final eliminator, if I win that, I’m mandatory. So he’s not really in my plans but he feels like I should fight him. It’s the exact same situation but flipped around. He feels like I should fight him when a year ago he didn’t feel he had to fight me. He is a big name. He is a good fighter so it isn’t a fight that I’d turn down. I do think it will happen but my next fight’s planned and if I win that then I’m next in line for Badou Jack....


Callum Smith: ‘George Groves should earn another shot’ - | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909


Agree with Callum completely and people need to get real. The entire rankings system is a charade. People leapfrog as a matter of course and champions fight underserving challengers all the time. Rankings are purchased. The only thing consistent about them is their inconsistency. The only rule that; there isn’t any. I like how Groves try’s to apply the double standard. Maybe he bought to big a house. Callum worked his way to #1 and capping it with that silver thingy. Groves is lucky to be #2. Callum’s #1 spot is no guarantee that he even gets Jack. Let’s remember, he’s a Mayweather fighter and in this market….

Oh and it’s the WBC. Smith needs to do what’s best for him and steady the course and get ready for a trip across the pond.
