Liam Smith is hoping to be boosted by the ringside support of Steven Gerrard when he fights Saul Canelo Alvarez on Saturday.Smith (23-01, 13 KOs) has spoken to his fellow Liverpudlian about attending his WBO world light-middleweight title defence against Mexican Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.Canelo, who has dropped down a division after relinquishing his WBC middleweight title rather than fight Gennady Golovkin, is a big favourite to relieve Smith of his WBO belt.After two low-risk defences, Smith insists he is ready to for a big step up in class and hopes former Liverpool and England midfielder Gerrard, who now plays for American side LA Galaxy, will be there to see him upset the odds.Boxing fan Gerrard has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury last month and is a doubt for his sides game against Sporting Kansas City the day after Smith fights Canelo.Steven is supposed to be going to the fight and Ive had a conversation with him about it and because of injury he might be able to make it, Smith told ESPN.Hes a big fan of boxing but hes also a friend of the family and it would be great to have them there if he can make it, but we will have to see.Its a step up but I believe Im ready for this fight. Im not a 32 or 33-year-old looking for a pay day before I get out the game.Im young and a champion and Ive got something to lose. I didnt have to fight Canelo, I chose to fight him and should be getting more money for it.But its not about the money, its about my chance to put myself up there and beat one of the biggest names in the sport.To help prepare for Canelo, Smith has sparred with fellow Briton Kell Brook who was beaten in five rounds by world middleweight No 1 Gennady Golovkin on Saturday.Smith -- one of four boxing brothers -- also sparred with Amir Khan before the Bolton welterweight also stepped up two weight divisions to challenge Alvarez for his WBC middleweight title in May, only to be knocked out in the sixth round.Smith, 28, believes both Brook and Khan had tougher tasks than he does this weekend after the pair stepped up two weight divisions.I definitely think Kells fight was harder because Im very confident I can go out there and win, Smith said.In my opinion Kell wont win but Im a genuine light-middleweight and I think Canelo is a genuine light-middleweight too, so its not like Im coming up two weight divisions like Kell is against Golovkin and like Amir did against Canelo.I know Im solid enough to hold my own with any light-middleweight in the world and Ive wanted this fight for a while.Smith, who flew out to the U.S. on Friday, insists he will not freeze in the biggest fight of his life against Mexican superstar Canelo at the 80,000-seat capacity home of NFL side Dallas Cowboys.There will be thousands there to support Canelo but I wont shrink on the night, Smith said.The outcome will have nothing to do with the size of the occasion.Im not stupid and Im not thinking about losing but if I lose it wont be because I froze on the night because nothing gets to me in life. I will thrive on it.I sparred with Amir before he fought Canelo and it helped being around a fight of that magnitude and getting used to it.

Lewis Hamilton says he will be proud of his 2016 campaign regardless of what happens at the title decider in Abu Dhabi, where he faces impossible odds to claim a fourth world championship.Hamilton has had a year punctuated by poor starts and engine reliability issues, notably his dramatic failure leading the Malaysian Grand Prix. He trails Rosberg by 12 points heading to the final round and cannot beat his Mercedes teammate to the title if the German finishes on the podium, even if he claims a fourth straight win.Despite the steep odds against him Hamilton is determined to cap 2016 with a dominant victory.Its not been a perfect season and Im faced with pretty impossible odds no matter what I do this weekend, he said. But I cant and wont give up. You never know what might happen - however unlikely it may seem.Ill be proud of myself and what Ive achieved as long as I feel Ive given my all and performed at my best. And, whatever happens, Im proud of everyone whos been a part of the succeess weve shared over the past few years.dddddddddddd Im approaching this weekend the same as I do every race.

The three-time world champion admits he is in a good place at the moment and happy to be part of Mercedes current spell of dominance.To finally win in Brazil was a moment Ill never forget. It had been a long time coming. Im in a good place right now. Im feeling super strong in this amazing car that everyone at the factories has worked so hard to give us. Ive had 31 wins in four years with this team so far, which is just crazy. Im so thankful for the great opportunity these guys have given me. Were continuing to make history together. ' ' '
