Undercard Highlights
There's a whole host of up and coming talent on display, with unbeaten prospects Hopey Price, Campbell Hatton, Aqib Fiaz, and Johnny Fisher all in action.
Cruiserweight Jordan 'Troublesome' Thompson going for his first ever title against Vasil Ducar should be a standout fight on the card. The Mancunian has stopped 11 from 13 opponents and this 10-round IBF European title contest will be his first championship bout of his professional career.
Background
Dalton Smith is one of the hottest prospects in world boxing, known as Sheffield’s most successful amateur boxer of all time. The 25-year-old claimed his first pro title at Manchester Arena in May 2021, dominating Lee Appleyard and forcing a punishing sixth-round stoppage to earn the vacant English super-lightweight belt. He added the vacant WBA Intercontinental title to his collection by widely outpointing Spain’s Brian Pelaez at the Worthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt, Austria four months later.
Then, he halted Ray Moylette in the 10th and final round of a one-sided contest for the WBC International Silver strap at the First Direct Arena in Leeds in March before defending that belt with a sixth-round stoppage win over tough Argentinian Mauro Perouene earlier this month in Cardiff. This could be a chance for the top talent to claim a fourth title in his 12th pro fight.
Standing in his way of the Lonsdale belt is Sam O’maison, a former English super-lightweight champion ho shared two close contests with Luton’s Kay Prospere in 2019, drawing the first and losing the second, before returning to winning ways with a points win over Serge Ambomo in May.
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Sam is a former English titlist and he has my utmost respect, but I believe this fight with Smith is a mismatch. It's a great fight for Sheffield, but I'm quite sure O'maison is going to be stopped in this fight, I'd estimate around the middle rounds – 5 to 6.”
