Callum Smith vs. David Morrell: Is Smith’s fight afraid of taking?

Callum Smith must soon decide if he will agree with the WBO’s mandate to defend his temporary heavy heavyweight title against contestant #2, David Morrell, or choose to leave the belt.

Smith’s Morrell Mandate: Duck or Fight?

If Smith (31-2, 22 kos) resigns from the title to avoid the dangerous fight against Morrell (12-1, 9 kos), he would lose his golden ticket to achieve a profit against the winner of the Dmitry Bivol Bivol vs Artur Beeterbiev.

Some fans believe that if Callum left the WBO to drag Morrell, Will sit down and wait For the winner of this struggle, in the hope that they will look at their direction. It is a weak way to achieve money that change the life of a confrontation against the Bivol-Beeterbiev III, but it means having to work for this place through the talented Cuban Morrell.

There would be no other way to look at a kind like this that is not labeling it as fashion, taking Smith on the back, making Morrell avoid. Smith hoped that Bivol or Beeterbiev’s struggle will fall from the sky to his lap to allow him to passively achieve the Mega-Milion struggle without having to get entangled with the young Morrell, 27, and possibly hit himself.

The WBO ordered Callum to defend its provisional title of 175 LB against David Morrell. Its direction has until August 20, 2025, from July 21, 2025, to reach an agreement before an offer of purses.

Smith vs. Morrell: spine or rescue?

It is understandable why the WBO has decided to order Smith-Mornell’s struggle. They said it themselves what their reason is to order the fight, saying it is “To the consequence of maintaining the active division” While Bivol-Beeterbiev enters its trilogy. The WBO wants its temporary headline of 175 LB (Smith) to be active, not only sitting and waiting for his hope of fighting the winner.

Smith’s request for a mandatory shot against Wbo Bivol champion has already been rejected. As such, Callum cannot sit at its back, waiting for a year or so for its eventual headline. He must defend his Wbo title against Morrell or give him to the young and hungry.

If Smith wants to keep in the row, he must show a spine and face Morrell. If you are afraid to fight the Cuban, you will have to give up your holder for the firing of the Mega-Millions title.
