New WBC super-lightweight champion Dalton Smith is determined to bring his dream fight to Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield. The former champion, speaking to Sky Sports, revealed his ambition to host a major world title bout at the iconic venue, calling it 'a dream come true' and 'the cherry on the top of the cake'. While not yet a stadium headliner, Smith believes the ball is rolling in the right direction for a big fight there.

He is expected to face mandatory challenger Alberto Puello next, likely in June. Smith is coming off a stunning fifth-round stoppage win over Subriel Matias in New York to claim the title, despite Matias testing positive for a banned substance. Smith remains confident, stating they prepared well and were ready for the 'firefight' against the southpaw.

Retaining the title opens doors to fights with stars like Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez, but Smith insists he must keep winning first. 'The sky's the limit,' he declared, adding the pressure is off now that he's a champion, making him 'more hungry than ever' for future achievements.
