Dalton Smith v Sam Maxwell: Fight date, ring walk time, undercard & betting odds

Dalton Smith will attempt to win a Lonsdale belt outright when he makes the third defence of the British super lightweight title against Sam Maxwell in July.

The Sheffield native is the headline event in his hometown for the second time in his career and boasts an unbeaten record, but former world title challenger Maxwell is perhaps his biggest test to date.

Smith is working towards attempting to engineer a world title shot of his own and that could be on the cards in 2024 if he can overcome Maxwell, who will also feel he has a chance to get back to fighting at world level if he can claim a victory in July.
