Episode Details

Dalton Smith is back in the ring for his first title defense since winning the WBC junior welterweight crown, stepping into the ring against former two-time champion Alberto Puello on October 24th in Sheffield — his hometown. The bout was originally scheduled for June but postponed after Smith fought through an elbow injury to beat Subriel Matias in January. Puello, who took a tune-up fight in July and won by KO, is no slouch — and Smith, who watched Puello lose his title to Matias, knows exactly what he’s up against. Smith’s win over Matias was a statement: proving he belongs among the world’s elite. Now, he’s laser-focused on Puello, seeing this as a pivotal step toward bigger fights in a stacked division. One opponent at a time — and Smith’s eyes are firmly on the prize.
