Notes
- World Boxing Super Series tournament quarter-final
- Smith, the favourite coming into the fight, was rocked in the early stages of the bout as Skoglund came out fighting. A bloodied nose appeared to slow Smith's progress after he was caught in the fifth round. But his resilience showed through, as he eventually forced Skoglund to the deck in the eleventh round after a barrage of big shots. Skoglund was quickly up, but it put the result of the fight beyond doubt.
