Who Are Callum Smith’s Parents?
Paul Smith Sr. and Margaret Smith are the parents of the 2010 Commonwealth Games welterweight silver medalist, Callum Smith. Much of what is known about the pair revolves around their children who pursued careers in boxing and won medals at different levels, from national to international.
Callum’s father who marks his birthday annually on November 16, is the one that always attends his children’s bouts. His mother on the other hand celebrates her birthday on July 20, and she is the one that doesn’t have the nerve to watch her sons fight for glory in the ring. She can’t stand to see her children take blows during fights.
Regardless of being present or absent at their children’s bouts, Paul and Margaret are responsible for raising sons that skysports sports journalist John Dennen describes as:
the most extraordinary family in British boxing
Inasmuch as their children have achieved incredible milestones in boxing such as winning medals at the Commonwealth Games and European competitions, the biggest achievement is how they trained and taught them to be disciplined and respectful.
