Britain’s WBC light-welterweight champion Dalton Smith will make the first defence of his title in front of his home fans in Sheffield on 6 June.

The unbeaten Smith, 29, will face two-time former world champion Alberto Puello from Dominican at Utilita Arena.

Smith won the world title in his 19th professional fight with a stunning fifth-round stoppage victory over Subriel Matias in Brooklyn in January.

“New York was a trip of a lifetime, but now it’s about bringing big world title fights to Sheffield,” said Smith.
