Unified light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (35, 25-1) is scheduled to defend his titles against Britain’s Callum Smith (36, 31-2) on December 12 in Yekaterinburg. RCC Boxing CEO German Titov confirmed that negotiations are complete and all official paperwork with Smith’s camp has been finalized. The high-stakes showdown will feature the WBO, WBA, IBF, and The Ring belt titles on the line. Smith, a former world champion and current WBO interim titleholder, brings elite experience from both super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. This marks Bivol’s second consecutive bout in Yekaterinburg, following his May title defense over Germany’s Michael Eifert at RCC 30.
