Dalton Smith vs. Alberto Puello goes down this Saturday, Oct. 24, at Utilita Arena in Sheffield, England, as Smith puts his WBC super lightweight title on the line in a homecoming championship defense. The undefeated British star faces his mandatory challenger, former two-time world champion Puello, in a 12-round showdown between two of the top fighters in the 140-pound division.
Smith (19-0, 14 KOs) captured his first world championship in January with a stunning fifth-round knockout of Subriel Matias in Brooklyn. The 29-year-old Sheffield native now returns to his hometown for his first title defense, looking to build on the biggest victory of his professional career.
Puello (25-1, 11 KOs) is looking to reclaim the WBC title he lost to Matias by majority decision in July 2025. The 32-year-old Dominican southpaw rebounded from his first professional defeat with a fourth-round stoppage of Miguel Angel Bolano in July, and now gets another opportunity to become a world champion. Saturday's fight was originally scheduled for May before an injury to Smith forced its postponement.
