WATCH | Off The Brawl | Is an Anfield homecoming the next step for Callum Smith? |

After his seventh round stoppage of George Groves, the new Super-Middleweight Champion of the world, Callum Smith has a few option to consider after claiming the Ali Trophy in Jeddah last weekend.

The Liverpudlian put on a clinical display to dethrone 'St. George' to move to 25-0 and a homecoming event at Anfield could be his next challenge. 

A rematch with Rocky Fielding would surely capture the interest of the city and with Liverpool recently gaining a licence to host non-football events at their renovated home - a re-run of Smith's 2015 stoppage of Fielding might well be on the cards. 

A win for James DeGale at the weekend has also seen his stock rise and a clash with Chris Eubank jnr or a rematch with George Groves could be in the near future. 

After bringing us the acclaimed 24/7 series amongst other initiatives, the Off The Brawl panel also discussed HBO's decision to leave the boxing scene after 45 years and 1,111 fights to date. 

George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao - to name but a few - all graced our screens thanks to HBO and while their exit from the boxing scene will be lamented, the sport is in a very healthy place at the moment. 

'Canelo' Alvarez and 'GGG' are now free agents after two epic and controversial brawls but with Showtime, DAZN and ESPN all likely to bid for their services, it mightn't be too long before we get the trilogy.
