    Callum Smith? I thought he was going to the US to fight Dirrell?

    Good fight if true. I've never actually been as high on Smith as most but are they catching DeGale at the right time? I felt he lost to Jack and took a lot of punishment. If Smith can invest to the body then he has a great chance as DeGale gasses.

    Noticed that C Smith had somehow appeared in the IBF's rankings, without fighting this year. Absolute joke! Money talks.

    Joke isn't it. Same way Perez appeared in the WBA rankings just before he was announced as Campbell's opponent

    Eddie 'IBF' Hearn.

    ...similiar to Frank 'WBO' Warren.

    Why did Haymon bother winning the Purse bid for the Dirrell fight?

    Smith v Dirrell was never going to be an easy sell in the US

    Even though I think Callum is the most tolerable of the lot

    I hope DeGale beats him comfortably!

    Can't stand the Smiths & the sh*t they talk

    DeGale needs to fight better than he did against Jack though

    I am not sure were it will be held yet.

    Emirates? Degale mentions it a lot, Hearn loves a stadium ha ha.
    02 probably the favourite to host at the moment I would say.
    Manchester Arena and Anfield outsiders...

    Had a feeling with the way the Dirrell team have been stalling fighting Callum this could happen even more so after Hearns last interview with Kugan. Both fighters would have a good chance as both have strengths that are ideal to exploit each other's weaknesses.

    Didn't Hearn say several weeks ago in an IFL interview they have the o2 booked for then?

    Neither are a draw. I would put it as chief support on a card

    Wait so Smith isn't fighting for the WBC anymore?

    Hopefully this will not be on PPV.
