Witherspoon was scheduled to defend his title against Tony Tubbs, who withdrew citing a shoulder injury. Against the will of Witherspoon, Smith was substituted by Don King. Witherspoon did not want to fight Smith as he had been training exclusively for Tubbs, and he and Smith had just met a year and a half prior. Smith defeated Witherspoon by TKO in Round 1. Wit
