FOLLOWING Artur Beterbiev’s win over Anthony Yarde, will the WBC now enforce Callum Smith’s position as mandatory?
First of all, what a great fight. I was so happy to see such an exciting, action-packed fight. Yarde deserves all the recognition. He was very brave and hit Beterbiev like no one has hit him before.
Callum Smith is the WBC mandatory and he has to be the next step for Beterbiev.
Would you ever try to enforce a ‘unification’ fight instead, one that is for the benefit of the sport, like Beterbiev- Bivol most certainly is?
I don’t like to speculate. The WBC have made it clear all along that they would accept the WBO mandatory [Yarde]
