Callum Smith has only just recently confirmed himself as one of the world’s best light-heavyweights but that has not prevented him from aiming even higher.

Last month, Smith proved his world class credentials in a tough battle with Joshua Buatsi that stole the show in Saudi Arabia .

In the immediate aftermath of that impressive victory, attention switched to what could be next for the Liverpool man.

Artur Beterbiev, Dmitry Bivol, and David Benavidez are all occupying the top spots at 175lbs and the natural reaction to Smith’s win was a showdown with one of those fighters.

The Benavidez fight has been heavily linked to Smith, but is a move to cruiserweight another option Smith may explore?

On May 3, live on DAZN , Canelo Alvarez faces William Scull, and on the undercard, Badou Jack will defend his WBC cruiserweight belt against Ryan Rozicki.

Smith will be a keen observer when the bell sounds, and he has provided his thoughts on whether he would be willing to jump up and face that test

"I'd love the Badou Jack fight," said Smith when speaking to Sky Sports. "It's a fight that I would take given the opportunity.

"I don't class myself as a fully-fledged cruiserweight, but I don't class him as one either. I think it's definitely a fight I would consider if it can be made."
