Artur Beterbiev vs. Joe Smith Jr. Preview

Both the fighters are looking at unifying three out of four belts in the light-heavyweight division. Artur Beterbiev is bringing WBC and IBF titles while Joe Smith Jr. is bringing WBO title to the table. In May 2022, Dmitry Bivol beat Canelo Alvarez to win the WBA (Super) light-heavyweight title. The winner of the bout will go on to challenge Bivol to become the ultimate fighter to win all titles in the division.

With his 17 knockout victories, Artur Beterbiev has become one of the deadliest names in the industry. You can’t dismiss Joe Smith Jr. either. The American does hold impressive power.

After making his pro debut in 2013, Artur Beterbiev won the WBA-NABA light-heavyweight title a year later in 2014. After winning the IBF title against Enrico Kolling in 2017, Beterbiev went on to defend the title five times. He won the WBC title by knocking out Oleksandr Gvozdyk in 2019 and successfully defended the title by defeating Marcus Browne.

Smith made his pro debut way earlier in 2009. He made an impressive debut with 11 straight wins. Smith lost to Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light-heavyweight title. He finally won the WBO light-heavyweight title by beating Maxim Vlasov in 2021. In his last fight against Steve Geffrard, Smith Jr. successfully retained the title via TKO.
