By Jeff Aranow: Main Events CEO Kathy Duva says WBA super middleweight champion Callum Smith (25-0, 18 KOs) is on the wishlist of WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev, and he has been for a long time. Up until Kovalev’s last fight against Eleider Alvarez, he’d been struggling in fights against Alvarez and Andre Ward. Callum Smith has been on our wish list for a long time,” Duva said to sysports.com. The super middleweight division is barren of big names at this time. #1 WBC Anthony Dirrell and #2 Avni Yildirim will be fighting for the vacant WBC super middleweight title this month on February 23.
