    I would love to see Callum Smith give Eubank Jr a good hiding. If the pay was right he would accept it.

    @james5000 @Jojojojo At risk of sounding like mums.net it’s nice to hear a little bit of that human side to the faceless usernames on here. Can’t help but think you lacked a tv a few years ago though, Jimmy. 2 is enough for me, i’d rather snip it myself in garden shed than go through all that again.

    He made £3.7 million after tax - not surprised he isn't fighting anytime soon. Probably investing the money, buying a house & land (should build houses) its an easy safe return and a little bit of crypto currency plus a nice gold Rolex.

    Your statement held weight until you said cryptocurrency.

    Invest in 2 dozen or so crypto currency's at $0.003 (can't go wrong)

    Anyone got any word on Smith's opponent on 1st June ? Still showing as good old Mr TBA on boxrec. It's likely to be someone pretty dire at this stage i expect.

    I think it always was going to be to knock a bit of ring rust off. I expect him to have a big fight later on this year.

    2 is enough for me too m8. I wouldnt swap them for the world but I dont want anymore ! My eldest was ill when he was born and I had a wee bit of money at the time and I hardly worked for a year, as you said you cant get the time back. I understand most of the time that's not possible but if I was Callum Smith and I had all his money I would be doing the same. He has his priorities right.

    I take it Callum Smith isn't fighting on the Joshua undercard anymore? It's 2 weeks away tomorrow, and still not heard any word on an opponent or anything.

    Aye that's what I heard as well, just thought it would've been announced by now if it was on the Joshua undercard.
