Smith vs. Germain is in the Park Community Arena in Sheffield on April 19. The event airs around 6 p.m. local time. The main event fighters should make their way to the ring around 10:30 p.m. GMT, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
A 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games bronze medalist, Smith (17-0) decided to forgo the 2020 Olympics, which has only benefited him. He has won British and Commonwealth super lightweight gold, beating the likes of Sam Maxwell, Jose Zepeda, and Walid Ouizza. The latter he took out in January for European gold.
Famed for his technical style and durability, Germain’s last appearance ended with him stopping Carlos Daniel Aquino in the seventh—a statement victory which led to this eliminator opportunity. Germain is tall and viced at 6’1” — an impressive height advantage over Smith (5’9½”). Germain may have lost twice, but both defeats were at the hands of reasonable opposition.
He’s eager to show he deserves to be on the world stage and is using enemy territory as the site of his upset. What’s at Stake? This isn’t just about belts. The victor sets himself up as an immediate challenger for the WBC's world title at 140 lbs.
Smith already has a mix of speed, power and technical ability, and many are predicting that he will be Britain’s next world champion in the division. Germain, in turn, is struggling for recognition and a chance for the sport’s biggest prize.
Undercard Highlights The undercard, too, is stacked with talent: Former world champion Josh Warrington is in on super featherweight; Asad Asif Khan.
Ryan Kelly takes on Caoimhin Agyarko for the WBA Continental super welterweight title. In the lightweight division, prospects Josh Padley and Marko Cvetanovic go head-to-head for the WBA International strap. In an all-English super featherweight clash, rising stars Giorgio Visioli and Kane Baker go to battle. Prediction and Final Thoughts The bookmakers have Smith a heavy favorite, and with good reason.
He is younger, fighting on their home turf and has a better knockout ratio. But Germain’s experience and height might cause issues if Smith takes him lightly.
I expect Smith to start fast, try to impose his power on the fight, and to shoot for a statement finish. But Germain’s grit makes him hard to count out.
Germain (17-0, 13 KO) will be out for the second time this year, following a 10-month layoff between fights. He easily dispatched Walid Ouizza in the first round on January 25 in Nottingham, and will look to make easy work of Canada’s Germain (26-2-1, 11 KO) today.
With Smith also fighting an in his country, then I see him doing more than enough to take a decision win with a stoppage being a good bet aswell.” 3 The fight night will be filled with drama, skill and that special Sheffield atmosphere.
Dalton Smith faces Mathieu Germain live on DAZN from Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield, England on April 18. The pair square off in a scheduled 12-round bout at super lightweight. Smith’s WBC ‘Silver’ belt is on the line.
