The defending champion, Artur Beterbiev (19-0, 19 KOs), representing Canada, faced off against the British challenger Callum Smith (29-1, 21 KOs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artur confidently initiated the bout by pressing forward, while Smith tried to establish his range with a left hook and executed effective combinations. As the match progressed, Beterbiev asserted control in the jab exchange, prompting Smith to adapt his approach. Faced with his opponent&#8217;s relentless attacks, Smith intensified his defensive maneuvers, employing slips and dodges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Smith decided to engage in a power struggle, he endured a series of impactful blows while surviving against the ropes. The turning point came in the seventh round when Callum advanced, received a counter right hook, and Beterbiev capitalized on the opportunity to pursue him. Smith hit the canvas twice, leading to his trainer entering the ring and the referee stopping the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beterbiev successfully defended his title, securing the WBC, WBO, and IBF light heavyweight world championship belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Artur Beterbiebv Crushes Callum Smith at Home | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ssh3U5B89k0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24hscore news Last night in Quebec, Canada, a boxing event unfolded with the main attraction being a match for the WBC, IBF, and WBO world titles in the light heavyweight division (up to 79.4 kg).
