Dalton Smith Targets The Ring Belt After Rising to No. 1 in Super Lightweight Rankings

Smith earned the WBC 140 crown with a fifth-round KO of Subriel Matias at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Later, he thanked The Ring for boosting him to No. 1. “We want The Ring belt now,” he said, targeting the Jan. 31 Lopez–Stevenson headliner at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory obligations loom, but the unbeaten Sheffielder wants the winner “as quickly as possible” for the next shot.
