【新闻】杜瓦；科瓦列夫愿意接受史密斯的挑战

闲着没事

推广人凯西·杜瓦表示，WBO轻重量级拳王科瓦列夫面对卡勒姆·史密没有任何问题，史密斯是WBA168磅冠军。

在最近的一次采访中史密斯的教练乔·加拉格尔说；统一之战，这就是我们想要的，也是我们对赫恩说过的话。他们是我们想要的重要比赛，即使科瓦列夫在周末获胜，如果没人愿意来到超中，我们也可以升级与科瓦列夫作战。我想这会让每个人都很兴奋，这就是我们想让卡勒姆·史密斯打的比赛。

杜瓦告诉天空体育说；我的朋友赫恩很清楚，卡勒姆·史密斯早就在我们的潜在名单上了。谢尔盖现在又回来了，他从来没有躲避过任何人。在我们看来，竞争者都应该排好队，他会一次拿下一个。看到一个年轻的冠军愿意挑战自己，真是令人耳目一新。我知道科瓦列夫尊重这一点，我也尊重。这就是拳击应该做的。


Sergey Kovalev Would Have No Problem With Facing Callum Smith

Main Events CEO Kathy Duva, who promotes WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev, says her boxer has no problem with facing an undefeated world champion like Callum Smith, who holds the WBA world title at 168-pounds.

In a recent interview, Smith's trainer, Joe Gallagher, explained that his fighter was willing to move up to face Kovalev at 175-pounds.

"The unification fights, that's what we want, that's what we've said to Eddie Hearn," said Gallagher to Sky Sports. "They're the big fights we want, and even with Kovalev winning at the weekend, there's a possibility if no one wants to dance with us at super middleweight, that we'd move up and fight Kovalev. I think that would get everyone excited, but they're the type of fights we want for Callum Smith."

Kovalev's career is back in full force after re-capturing the WBO world title with a dominant twelve round decision over Eleider Alvarez.

Last August, Kovalev's future was on the ropes after getting knocked out by Alvarez in seven rounds.

Smith elevated his standing in the weight class back in 2018, after knocking out George Groves to win the World Boxing Super Series tournament - and also led him to capture the WBA crown.

Duva indicates that Smith has been a potential target for Kovalev for some time.

"As my friend Barry Hearn well knows, Callum Smith has been on our wish list for a long time. Sergey is now back on top of the division. He has never avoided fighting anyone," Duva told Sky Sports.

"As far as we are concerned, the contenders should all line up and he will take them one at a time. It's refreshing to see a young champion who is willing to challenge himself. I know that Sergey respects that and so do I. That's what boxing should be about."
