Callum Smith taken to the hospital after winning Joshua Batsi, when the rival also goes to A&D

Published

on

Callum Smith was taken to the hospital after a deep section above the eye during the victory over Joshua Batsi in Saudi Arabia.

The former world champion won a unanimous decision after 12 exhausting rounds on the undisputed defense of the title of lightweight in a demanding ponderous defense Artur Beterbaview against Dmitry Bivol.

Smith struggled with inaction and injuries from the time of losing to Canelo Alvarez in 2020, but he went back after years to overtake the Batsi and return to the competition for the title of world champion.

However, he did not leave the fight unscathed, with a huge racker opening over the right eye in the middle rounds.

This required a hospital travel after the last bell, while Batsi was also taken to routine medical controls as a precaution after maintaining many penalties.

Smith dominated vast parts of the fight, but Buatsi made him act extremely demanding, which showed great determination and granite chin to stay in the competition until the very end.

Ultimately, all three judges nodded Smith from the results of 119-110, 115-113 and 116-112 to end the brilliant night for the 34-year-old.

Speaking after the fight, he said: “I was weaker and I supported me a bit when I saw people who say I finished,” said Smith. Sometimes it was humorous and frustrating.

“I felt that I had to prove that many people were wrong today, but it was not a surprising result for me. It was not a perfect performance. I took a few rounds at the end, my vision was a bit handicapped. “

Certainly it was an thrilling fight, and both boxers leave everything in the ring in the competition, which he posted one way and then the other.

Pundit Sky Sports Jonny Nelson noticed: “What a fight between the two British who really left their heart and soul there. Batsi tried to find the right goal and still had to react.

“Callum did properly, constantly fucking, differ from head to body, but the endurance and experience of both warriors was class, tidy class. The difference between the summit of the bill and the two is huge, but this fight was crazy. “

It will turn out if Smith will chase another fight for the title of world champion after the release of Buatsi’s first defeat of his professional career.

He was detained by Beterbaview in the seventh round last year, but in the near future he could look for a rematch, while Bivol may be another potential opponent, depending on the result of the main event today.

The third option may be an immediate extension of hostlites from Batsi, who would certainly jumped on the chance to multiply their only failure if the opportunity appeared.

Wayne Rooney once proposed to enter the ring to prepare Tyson Fury for his epic fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Fury revealed in 2022 that “very solemn” discussions about the Manchester United and England icon were held, joining his camp before the first fight for the title of World Champion.

Rooney, who will take part in football today, is a huge box of boxing. He recently revealed that he had received offers to take part in Missions Boxing. The viral video was once presented by a 39-year-old who was knocked out by his former colleague from United, Phil Bardsley, and answered Shadow Boxing The Corner Flag after winning the next match of the club against Tottenham. At the end of 2022, Fury willingly added Rooney to his team when he expected to fight Usyk, a fight, which eventually took place two years later.

Speaking with ITV, the gypsy king revealed: “I talked to Wayne [Rooney] Last night and it’s ready for it. But he is a right -handed person, so he must change to Southpaw’s left hand. So we will bring Wayne to prepare for Usyk. “

Asked if it was a joke, Fury replied: “No, very, very seriously. He agreed, so he would come to the camp for about four weeks to aid me. I am his huge fan.”

Fury told TalkSport about Rooney’s admiration for this sport: “He is a massive box of boxing, he also comes from a boxing family. I hope we can have some spar one day.

It is believed that the couple have never entered the ring together. After a long expectation, to finally fight Usyk, Fury lost his initial fight with a divided decision in May 2024. Then he lost the rematch in December 2024 according to a unanimous decision.

Meanwhile, Rooney wants to enter boxing. However, he suspended these plans when he was looking for a football management path. He was released as the Plymouth manager after the catastrophic beginning last season.

He said Overlap: “They were in contact and asked the question, but I think that at the moment I want to focus on returning to management, not boxing. There were several [offers] And of course there were freaks and it was all in the news. But listen, I want to focus on returning to management, this is my goal. “

“He had his career, earned money and found out.

“As soon as he appeared in the classroom, he was flattened

“He was ironed, he finished, El Sparko against Dubois, that for me it was all she wrote.

This should be the end of AJ’s career

I’m not interested in this, I don’t want him to fight again. “

Eddie Hearn recently appeared on journalists, Talk show ariel helwani And he proposed a plan for Joshua, because “2026 will probably be his last year in sport.”

This is obviously a payment plan, he wants to fight Fury twice, and then he wants to fight Daniel Dubois again.

“I don’t think the fight of Tyson Fury is happening, Tyson Fury is Meser, right?

“I think he finished (fury), he finished, he has 200,000,000 pounds or whatever he has, he won’t fight again.

“He will continue to make noise and talk to Bollocks, but I don’t think he is coming out of his retirement in the near future.

“I don’t want a single fight, but two fights with Tyson Fury, Eddie Hearn really tries to get an ancient bunsn burner, right?

“Talk about payments, this is the right payment, is it right?

It would be like winning the euro lottery on the way home.

I don’t think he even fought fury, I think he did it. I explained it.

Fighting Daniel Dubois, forget about it, Daniel Dubois f ** King flattens him again.

He can’t defeat Daniel Dubois; He would be scared to death to hit the chin.

He will be hit in the chin, and when he does, he will become unconscious again. “

Froch discussed other possible fights for Joshua, including Moses Itauma, Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker, but the others were uninterested.

Joshua and Whyte were to meet in a rematch last year.

“Who are we saying” AJ “? We have Parker. I mean I think Parker is beating him.

We have Dillian Whyte, but he goes back, right? He beat him ten years ago.

I think Dillian Whyte is about the ending and wants to fight Moses Itaum.

I think Moses Itauma absolutely sentence and probably flattens Dillian Whyte and this will be his end.

I would not put “AJ” with Itaum, because for me it will be another beating. “
