Callum Smith vs Hassan N'Dam added to Anthony Joshua undercard

Callum Smith will defend his world title against Hassan N’Dam on the Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr undercard on June 1. Smith won his world title by beating George Groves last year and will make his first defence in New York. Smith’s title defence joins a promising card headlined by Joshua defending his IBF, WBA (Super) and WBO heavyweight titles against Ruiz on his US debut. He said: "I've had a good camp and I’m looking forward to walking to the ring as a world champion for the first time in my career. I worked so hard to get where I am and now the task is to keep hold of my titles and target those big fights. To have my first defence at Madison Square Garden is going to be special and it’s another box ticked for me personally. "People call it the Mecca of Boxing and I’ve always seen it as a venue that I’d love to fight at one day. The minute that there was a chance of it happening I pushed to make sure that I could be part of this show. N'Dam is a good fighter and he's a former world champion. He’s only lost to three top fighters and he’s got some great wins on his record. “I had him over in England to help me prepare for George Groves so we know each other well. He's a good mover, has good footwork and can move around the ring pretty well. Experience is on his side and he’s an awkward guy to face. Saying that, he's definitely a fighter that I should beat and get rid of if I’m on my game."
