With all eyes on a potential matchup with Dmitry Bivol later in the year, Artur Beterbiev may be in for a tougher fight on Jan. 13 than he initially predicted.
Combat sports fans will have their attention on the return of the UFC this weekend, but this sneaky-good boxing fight is not to be overlooked. Beterbiev brings his 19-0 record along with his WBC, WBO, and IBF light heavyweight belts into Saturday's main event against former WBA super middleweight champion Callum Smith.
Unexpectedly, Beterbiev is the betting favorite with a massive -450 price tag with Smith coming back at +320.
