Davey Boy Smith Jr. Hopes To Compete At Bloodsport X, Names Erik Hammer As Potential Opponent

Davey Boy Smith Jr. talks Bloodsport X. 

Davey Boy Smith Jr. has a sterling record at Bloodsport, going 6-1 in seven contests with his only loss coming to Jon Moxley in 2021. Smith Jr has victories of Josh Alexander, Karrion Kross, Tom Lawlor, Calvin Tankman, and KTB. He defeated JR Kratos at Bloodsport 2022. 

Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Davey Boy was asked about potentially competing at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport X. 

“I have not spoken to Josh about this yet, but I am going to be under the assumption that I will be participating in the Bloodsport coming up this year. Unfortunately, because of my stomach issues, I haven’t been training quite as regularly as I once was in the martial arts aspect. I’m getting back into that now. It took me a while to get back to a neutral state with my body with appendicitis and diverticulosis. Once you get to that state, you want to get into great shape and doing a lot of conditioning, sparring, kickboxing, flipping tires. It took a while to get back to a neutral state. I do have faith that I will be at the 2024 Bloodsport event. I do not know of an opponent, but there is a lot of great talent out there. This is one guy that I’ve trained with, sparred with, and wrestled with that is a dear friend of mine; Erik Hammer. He’s been on the Bloodsport events in the past. He and I would shake hands, and may the best man win. It would be great competition and a great match to go up against a caliber of athlete like himself. People don’t know enough about him, but he’s a highly skilled grappler, in great shape, and an awesome dude. He would be somebody I would look forward to stepping in the ring with for Bloodsport,” said Davey Boy. 

A handful of bouts have already been announced for Bloodsport X, including Nic Nemeth vs. Mike Bailey.
