The WBC, IBF and WBO light heavyweight title was on the line in Quebec, Canada as Artur Beterbiev clubbed former super middleweight champion, Callum Smith, to a corner’s stoppage in round seven. The even saw Beterbiev retain his three titles and set up the potential undisputed matchup with Dmitry Bivol.

The title fight ended in the seventh round after Beterbiev knocked Smith down. Beterbiev let loose a barrage of bombs and Smith’s trainer, Buddy McGirt, stepped in on the second knockdown to say that he’d seen enough.
