WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith (22-0-1, 12 KOs) has called for a domestic showdown with IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) after he’s dealt with Predrag Radosevic on June 4 in Liverpool in the third defense of his world title. “I’m going to be brutally honest,” said Smith. “Kell Brook is the fight I want. I would bite your hand off for that fight. Kell is a nice lad and I get on with him but it’s a fight that people would love to see.
“Frank [Warren] made an offer and started the ball rolling. If they were keen on that fight they could have easily had it. Don’t talk about dominating 147lbs and 154lbs and then fight an opponent at 140lbs. If you’re going do it do it and fight one of the champions at 147lbs or 154lbs!”
