Smith was then asked as a free agent if it’s difficult for him to pick a promoter at this stage of his career: “I’m in a position where it’s got to be like a big fight. It’s not like someone is going to offer me a 12-month contract.” He continued: “Its who’s going to offer me names.” Smith revealed: “Frank and George Warren have offered me names, and Eddie (Hearn) and Frank (Smith) are in the middle of doing the same thing now.”

“I’ll probably just see which ways the best, the best option out of them two.”

Like I’ve always said, I’ll take the fight in a heartbeat.” He added: “I’d love that fight next.”

Smith then revealed: “It got spoken about when I was in Canada (Callum Smith vs. Artur Beterbiev) – Eddie asked me, would I fight him (Benn). Of course, I’d love to.”

Potential Return Date

When asked about a return and a likely date for his next fight, Smith said: “I’m itching to get back, but first and foremost, I’m itching to get fit. I’m massively overweight. I put a lot of weight on after the Eubank fight.”

He continued: “I was injured. I was injured before it. I thought I’d get through it. I didn’t, and I’ve let it heal and rest up properly.”
