Eddie Hearn has confirmed that Callum Smith will return to the ring in Liverpool in March.
The Matchroom chief has revealed that Smith is set to step back inside the ropes on March 11 at the M&S Bank Arena. The 32-year-old last fought back in August when he took out Mathieu Bauderlique to win an eliminator for the WBC light-heavyweight title on the Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua bill in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The bout in March will serve as a means to remain active for 'Mundo', while he awaits the winner of the clash between Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde at the OVO Arena Wembley on January 28.
