Dalton Smith called out by the undefeated American
Dalton Smith has a target on his back after winning his maiden world title.
Last Saturday in Brooklyn, Smith spectacularly knocked out Subriel Matias and became the WBC super lightweight world champion.
Since then, the 28-year-old has been targeting a unification fight with the winner of the fight that will take place on January 31 between WBO champion Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson. He plans to fight this fight at the ring at Madison Square Garden.
Undefeated former lightweight world champion Keyshawn Davis returns to the ring with a super lightweight clash with Jamain Ortiz on the card and is looking forward to a future meeting with the Sheffield man.
“You lit up Dalton Smith,” Davis said Ring Magazine.
“You have quite a record.
“We can probably do something here.
“He’s a great champion. He’s been here for a while.
“We all know him.
“It’s not a mistake. His 19-0 record blows away players like Subriel.
“Hats off to Dalton Smith.”
Smith has already been scheduled to fight former WBC champion Alberto Puello, who lost his belt to Matias in July.
Matchroom chief executive Frank Smith hopes to join the fight ahead of Puello, potentially at Hillsborough Stadium, the home ground of Smith’s favorite club Sheffield Wednesday.
“The Shakur vs. Teofimo fight will take place on January 31,” Frank Smith said Heavenly sports.
“It is a huge fight to be united with the winner.
“Of course at some point the WBC match against Alberto Puello will be mandatory.
I hope we have another fight before then.
“We want the biggest fights possible, and he’s in a position to be in those substantial fights.

“I think daylight saving time is the most realistic.
“I have spoken to the Hillsborough team about something, whether it will be in the future or in the future, we will see.
“July at Hillsborough would be perfect.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
