Smith won the interim title in a Fight of the Year contender winning a decision against fellow Brit Joshua Buatsi in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“This is home - there’s nothing like walking out in front of a home crowd that’s supported you from the very start. It gives me a real lift and I plan to give them a big performance," said Smith.

“Morrell is a top fighter, but I’m coming into this fight with a clear goal - to win and take another big step towards becoming a two-weight world champion.”

Morrell is coming off his first defeat at the hands of David Benavidez as he gets set for his world title opportunity.

“First, I want to thank God for this opportunity in my career,” said Morrell.

“I’m excited to showcase my talent in front of the great boxing fans in the UK. I’m preparing for an all-out war with Callum Smith on April 18. I’m coming for that belt.”
