    Damn… a 5 month postponement. Age is catching up and Beterbiev really doesn’t have much time left. His constant injuries is going to take a toll on him.

    That will be a year and half out of ring for smith, everybody is going on about Beterbiev’s age but that long inactivity also could play a part.

    will be interesting to see if smith can have a fight in the interim.

    Why ?

    Beterbiev got his wisdom tooth removed and it's nothing special. one month should be enough to resume training and then he can fight after 3 months. November is good date.

    It's a jaw infection in the bone that takes time to heal up, it's more than just a wisdom tooth removal. May not sound much but it's a complicated procedure that takes time to recuperate from the swelling, and then he still needs time to train physically.

    We have wait five months for this bout, only because Beterbiev was too lazy to brush his teeth :dunno. I sincerely hope Callum destroys this evil, Kadyrov goon and saves the division! :ggg

    That’s ludicrous! Nearly half a year delay! Gimme a break. Beterbiev will be gray haired by the time this fight takes place.

    Smith should try to fight Bivol instead.

    I pretty much just except Beterbiev’s fights to be postponed at this point. I think this raises the chances of that big upset I wanted for Smith.
