Smith (28-1) was returning to action for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss to pound-for-pound boxing great Canelo Alvarez in December of 2020.

Meanwhile, Lenin Castillo (8-1) was attempting to keep his perfect record in tact when he squared off with Callum Smith. The Dominican native had scored a fifth round TKO victory over Emilio Cayetano in his previous effort.

Tonight’s Smith vs. Castillo fight took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. The result was a nasty second round knockout for the British standout, as Callum destroyed Lenin with a right hand.
