Dalton Smith will defend his WBC super-lightweight title against Alberto Puello in Sheffield on June 6, following his title-winning stoppage of Subriel Matias in New York in January. Alberto Puello's only defeat came against Subriel Matias last summer when he lost the WBC super-lightweight title. Puello won the interim WBC super-lightweight title two years ago, was upgraded to full champion, made one defense by outpointing Sandor Martin, then dropped a majority decision against Matias.
The fight between Dalton Smith and Alberto Puello will be broadcast on DAZN. The exact venue in Sheffield, start time on June 6, odds or predictions for the outcome, undercard fights, and ticket pricing and availability have not been announced.
I’m excited to be fighting for my title again on June 6. I’m looking forward to becoming a three-time world champion and making history in the United Kingdom in front of its wonderful fan base. [Dalton] Smith a good boxer. I’m excited to share the ring with him and give the fans a great fight.
