Let me tell ya, Callum Smith had this chat with iFL TV — and, oh boy, it’s like eavesdropping on someone’s living room convo about boxing life. Right, so here’s the thing: Callum was kinda going with the flow about his next fight, like waiting for the bus and wondering if it’ll be on time. He mentioned something about his promoter, Eddie Hearn—who, let’s face it, must have a planner as packed as a Tokyo subway in rush hour. Eddie’s got a few meetings lined up. Hmm, meetings always sound so fancy, don’t they? But Callum? He’s cool as a cucumber, just waiting to see how all the talk shakes out.
Now about this possible rumble with David Benavidez — oh man, the way Callum talks! You feel like you’re in a pub having a pint, you know what I mean? He’s saying that Benavidez is a top-notch fighter, one of those guys you’d look at and go, “Yeah, he knows what he’s doing.” They’ve been circling each other like cats eyeing the same toy back at 168 pounds, and even though that face-off never happened, they’re both at 175 now, ready for action. Honestly, I’m half expecting this to be one of those matches that people talk about for ages — classic Clash of the Titans kinda thing.
Oh, and about the big ‘when and if’ with Benavidez, it’s like waiting on Christmas morning when you’re a kid. Is Santa gonna come through or what? No offers yet from the other side, Callum says. But hey, patience is a virtue, right? He’s itching to know when his next scrap is happening – dude just wants to punch things in a ring again! Can’t blame him, staying in fight shape sounds tough.
And if Benavidez doesn’t pan out? Callum’s kinda shrugging at that idea. But with him being the interim champ and all, he’s in a sweet spot. This light heavyweight deal is bursting with talent like a piñata. Whoever steps up, it’ll be something worth grabbing the popcorn for. Sounds like Callum’s just vibing with whatever the universe throws at him. Gotta admire that laid-back but hungry for action attitude.
