Smith fights Rafael Sosa Pintos (48-10 KO19) in Leeds on Saturday and says a win will move him right into the super-middleweight mix.

And that, says Gallagher, means Groves will be the target.

"Groves is firmly in Callum's sights and that is the fight we want," he told this week's Toe 2 Toe podcast.

"We'll be hot on his heels whatever route he takes."
