With true world 175-pound champion Dmitry Bivol taking his time on his next fight, the WBO wants its interim light heavyweight champion, Callum  Smith (pictured), to defend against David Morrell. According to WBO president Gustavo Olivieri, the WBO will grant the parties until tomorrow to reach terms. Failure to do so will result in the shecduling of purse bid proceedings. Smith (31-2) won the title in a grueling battle against Joshua Buatsi in February. Morrell got a split-decision win over Iman Khataev in July.
