    Never seen Stepien fight before but that's a step down from original opponent Lyndom Arthur.

    They want to protect Callum Smith as much as possible so they can cash him out against Beterbiev.

    Wow, just make Bivol - Beterbiev already. No need to let it marinate. At this moment, Artur could just drop the belt that mandates him to face Smith. I very much doubt his team wants him to fight 3 times this year.

    Callum Smith, Buatsi and whoever else have tried to time their opportunity right, well they might as well wait longer. I remember Hearn saying after Yarde-Kovalev that he would stick Buatsi in with Kovalev straight away and expect him to win.... this was 3 years ago

    Just a stay busy fight while Beterbiev is observing Ramadan.
