Dalton Smith has the potential to become one of British boxing’s next mainstream stars, according to former world champion Tony Bellew.
In a BBC Sport column, Bellew explains why he believes Smith can move beyond his current standing in the sport and attract a wider audience. He also makes the case for Smith to face Adam Azim in a high-profile contest at Hillsborough.
The proposed Smith-Azim fight is presented as a possible route to raising Smith’s profile and creating greater public interest in his career. The supplied material does not include details of whether the contest has been agreed, when it could take place or which venue arrangements have been made.
Smith is described as a world champion, while Bellew’s assessment focuses on his prospects of becoming a leading figure in British boxing. Any future bout with Azim would represent the next development discussed in the column, but no confirmation of the fight is provided.
