Britain’s Callum Smith (27-0, 19KOs) faces the toughest test of his unbeaten career so far when he enters the ring against living legend Saul “Canelo” Álvarez (53-1-2, 36KOs) this weekend – December 19.

Predictions:
Jez Smith Southern Area title contender
"I've been changing my mind since this got announced, Canelo has been in with far better opposition, but that's not down to Smith, as he can only beat who is in front of him. I think if Smith comes in with the right game plan, gets behind his jab, unsets Canelo early and doesn't let him get comfortable, then I can see Smith winning on points."
