WBC No. 1 ranked light heavyweight contender Callum Smith of Great Britain named what he considers to be three of the best boxers in his division.
I was looking at the rankings, somebody sent them to me. The number one was Dmitry Bivol, Artur Beterbiev is second, and then me. To tell you the truth, I can agree with that. I believe I'm the best in the world, but should I be in first place? No, I don't think so. I'd say Beterbiev should be first and Bivol should be second. A lot of people put him first because of his win over Saúl Álvarez.
