Fists of Fate: Canelo's One-Time Rival Forecasts Smith-Beterbiev Outcome

John Ryder, the British super middleweight and past adversary of Canelo, weighs in on the upcoming bout between Artur Beterbiev and Callum Smith, seeing a potential twist:

"This is a major scrap for Callum, especially with Beterbiev's recent injury and the bout's delay. It smells like an opportunity. Is Father Time starting to grapple with Beterbiev? Could this be the moment for Smith to rise to the occasion?

I'm aware Callum's stepping into the lion's den to clash with Arthur, and that's how it should be. Want to dethrone a champ? What better way than on their stomping ground? I'm putting my money on Callum here; reckon he'll emerge the top dog," Ryder opines.

Beterbiev, aged 38, is set to square off against 33-year-old Smith on January 13 in Quebec, Canada.
