Liverpool's Stephen Smith is getting a shot at the IBF World super featherweight title. Jose Pedraza (21-0) is the defending champion. The contest on 16th April, 2016 takes place at Foxwoods Resort, Mashantucket, Connecticut.

 

Stephen Smith: “I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity, but the timing couldn’t be better,” said Smith. “I’m excited to get the opportunity to win the world title live on Sky Sports in the UK and on SHOWTIME in America. Pedraza is a quality fighter but I know I will do whatever is needed to become world champion on April 16 and I can’t wait.”

I think we will have to wait for Callum for a 'Smith' world champion

Good luck to Stephen though i hope he does it

 

Liam Smith is the WBO World super welterweight title. Family ready has it's first. But agree that more likely that Callum is next rather than Stephen.
