‘The One’ faces light-heavyweight champ Artur Beterbiev in Chicago, a week after his gym-mate Callum Smith defeated George Groves to grab his own world title belt.

Beterbiev is making the first defence of his crown and has a glittering amateur career behind him, which saw him win two World and one European Championships.

The Russian is a fearsome competitor, knocking out Enrico Kölling last November in the final round of their California scrap to take the IBF strap.

Beterbiev vs Johnson: Callum Johnson ready to bring IBF light-heavyweight title home. Days after gym-mate Callum Smith upset the odds to beat George Groves, the 33-year-old is confident he can. Beterbiev has a perfect knockout rate as all 14 of his professional fights have ended with him stopping his opponents. In May, he KO’d Kalajdzic in the 5 th round. A year ago, in his first title defense, he stopped Callum Johnson in the 4 th round. Johnson is ranked in the Top 15 with the IBF, WBC, and WBA.
