Callum Smith says he was surprised when he knocked out Rocky Fielding within one round to win British super-middleweight title Callum Smith says he was surprised when he knocked out Rocky Fielding within one round to win British super-middleweight title

Callum Smith is open to a domestic superfight with George Groves following his devastating first-round knockout of Rocky Fielding last Saturday.

The 25-year-old super-middleweight joined his three boxing brothers by becoming a British champion with his win over Fielding and has now set his sights on capturing a world title.

Following his emphatic victory, Smith has ascended to No 1 contender status for Badou Jack's WBC super-middleweight title.

Jack won a split decision against Groves in his last fight to retain his belt and, while Smith wants to challenge him for his world title sooner rather than later, he has no problem stepping into the ring with Groves first if the terms are right.

Smith told Sky Sports News HQ: "It's still a possibility. [Groves] is still a big name but I am ranked No 1 with the WBC so my aims are on Badou Jack sometime in the next year.

"I feel I am ahead of George Groves right now but if the fight was offered I would take it. He is a big name at the end of the day and if the terms are right then yes.

"I am sure it is a good fight for the British fans with two big British fighters going against each other."

Smith surprised many seasoned boxing observers with the clinical manner in which he despatched the previously undefeated Fielding and admitted the fight went far better than even he had imagined.

"I always said I felt I could win it a lot easier than people were expecting but I'd be a liar if I said I envisioned getting him out of there in one round," Smith admitted. "I was surprised.

"There were two ways I thought it could go. Late on into the fight and then I would take over but with unbeaten fighters who were both supposedly big punchers in a local derby I thought it could be a shoot-out for four rounds and it would be over quite early."

Meanwhile, Liam Smith - Callum's older brother - will defend his WBO light-middleweight title against domestic rival Jimmy Kelly at the Manchester Arena on December 19.

The Liverpool 27-year-old won the vacant title with a seventh-round knockout of John Thompson at the same venue in October.

The bout will appear on the same bill as Andy Lee's delayed WBO middleweight title defence against Londoner Billy Joe Saunders.
