Beterbiev vs. Smith Odds, Fight Card

No one has been able to take down Beterbiev in his nearly 11 years as a pro boxer. In fact, no one has even been able to leave the ring without getting knocked out. And Vegas isn’t expecting that to change tonight: As of writing, Beterbiev is the heavy favorite with a moneyline of -600 against Smith’s +370.

However, the English challenger certainly has a shot at an upset win. Smith is 33 years old while Beterbiev is nearly 39, and Smith has more professional fights under this belt than Beterbiev (30 to 19, respectively). Some experts also saw flaws in the Russian-Canadian champion’s most recent fight Anthony Yarde, which was also a full year ago (tonight’s fight was originally scheduled for this past August, but was postponed when Beterbiev underwent jaw surgery for a bone infection).

Besides the title fight between Beterbiev and Smith, we’ll get a few exciting matchups beforehand to whet the appetite — including a WBO bantamweight title bout between Jason Moloney and Saul Sanchez.

Here’s the full Beterbiev vs. Smith fight card:

Arthur Beterbiev (c) vs. Callum Smith — IBF, WBC and WBO world light heavyweight titles
Jason Moloney vs. Saul Sanchez — WBO bantamweight title
Christian Mbilli vs. Rohan Murdock
Imam Khataev vs. Rodolfo Gomez Jr
Christopher Guerrero vs. Sergio Garcia Herrera
Mehmet Unal vs. Dragan Lepei
Leila Beaudoin vs. Elizabeth Chavez Espinoza
