Liverpool's WBO Super-Welterweight Champion Liam Smith came face-to-face with Mexican challenger Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez for a second time at today's final stop on the Canelo vs. Smith international press tour. 'Beefy' puts it all on the line against pound-for-pound superstar Alvarez at the breath-taking AT&T Stadium on Saturday 17th September, exclusively live in the UK on BoxNation.
The undefeated Merseyside hero is looking to make a name for himself across the pond when he defends his WBO World Title for a third time at the home of the world-famous Dallas Cowboys on Mexican Independence Day.
"This is a fight I’ve been asking for for 12 months. I jumped at the chance, it’s a chance for me to make a name for myself.
Responding to the US media reaction which has seen him unfairly labelled as a "paper champion", the 27-year-old said the American press weren't in a position to comment as he's never fought Stateside before.
Alvarez, 47-1-1 33 KO's, insisted he will not be underestimating Smith, despite heading into September's mega-fight as the bookies clear favourite.
