Smith, 30, the WBA supermiddleweight champion from Liverpool, will take on boxing's pound-for-pound king, most likely in Texas.

I am a physicist, and an energy and sustainability science researcher, and I live in California because of its penchant for not just setting but actually achieving big goals and adopting bold visions others may consider too ambitious.
