What has been said?

“A win means more than I want, to be honest with you,” Smith told BBC Sport.

“It probably makes me a star in the boxing world.

“I do want star status and people to say ‘what a win that was’. I enjoy that.

“I don’t enjoy the fame side of it. I think when you chase money or fame, things come unstuck.”

Rival’s corner

Super-middleweight rival Chris Eubank Jr has been speaking about Smith’s prospects of beating Alvarez.

The Brighton fighter, however, doesn’t rate Smith’s chances to be very high.

“Callum will fight him like a scared fighter, just like Sergey Kovalev did in his previous fight,” Eubank Jr told SunSport.

“These guys are going in to survive, just to escape a knockout or getting hurt.

“I don’t have that in me, no matter how big or bad my opponent is, I attack them and Canelo is not used to that.

“He is used to winning these fights before he even gets in the ring, like Mike Tyson used to.

“But nobody is going to get into my head and make me put my tail between my legs.”
