Callum Smith seeks Badou Jack title fight opportunity

Callum Smith is considering a fight with Badou Jack for the cruiserweight world title. Smith recently won a significant match against Joshua Buatsi in Saudi Arabia. Many regarded him as the underdog, but he secured a unanimous decision victory after 12 intense rounds. With this win, Smith earned the WBO interim belt. He is now hoping for a light-heavyweight title shot. However, he is also open to moving up a weight class to fight Jack for his WBC title. Smith expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "I would love the Badou Jack fight." Additionally, Smith dreams of fighting in front of his home crowd at Anfield. Other Liverpool fighters, like Liam Smith and Natasha Jonas, have shared similar aspirations. Smith acknowledged that organizing such a fight involves many factors, including the right opponent and undercard. Despite his recent victory, Smith isn't in a rush for a rematch with Buatsi. He described the last fight as exhausting and noted his body's soreness afterward. While he understands fans might want another match, he feels both fighters likely need more time before a rematch.
