Callum Smith is a name we might be hearing a lot more of over the coming years.

The Liverpool boxer is just 25 years old, but the British Super Middleweight champ has now added a European belt to his collection, and in some style. Smith secured a first-round TKO against Hadillah Mohoumadi, stopping the Frenchman in just two minutes to take his career record to 19-0-0 with 14 knockouts. https://twitter.com/MatchroomBoxing/status/716399538874032130 The victory sees Smith climb to third in BoxRec's world super middleweight rankings, and ensures he is now a mandatory challenger for the WBC world title. Following the impressive success, fellow Liverpudlian Wayne Rooney congratulated Smith on the knockout - his second successive first-round win after seeing off Rocky Fielding for the British super middleweight title last year. Callum's brother Liam is already a world champion at light middleweight, but could we see two world title belts in the family before long? https://twitter.com/WayneRooney/status/716386423834853376
