\u00a0Puerto Rican power puncher Subriel Mat\u00edas will defend the WBC super lightweight title against Britain\u2019s Dalton Smith in a bout that promises non-stop intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Subriel \u201cOrgullo de Maternillo\u201d Mat\u00edas
\n<\/strong> Known for his aggressive style and relentless pressure, Mat\u00edas owns a record of 23 wins, 22 of them by knockout, with only two defeats. After racking up 18 stoppage victories, the Puerto Rican earned his first world title opportunity, which he capitalized on to become super lightweight world champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Following one successful title defense, Mat\u00edas lost that belt, but in July of last year he returned to the top by defeating then-champion Alberto Puello via majority decision, capturing the WBC super lightweight world title. This fight marks the first defense of his new reign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalton \u201cThunder\u201d Smith
\n<\/strong> From the early stages of his career, Dalton Smith made it crystal clear that his goal was to win WBC-sanctioned titles. In 2022, he knocked out Ray Moylette in the tenth round to claim the WBC International super lightweight title.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In March 2024, Smith took a major step forward by stopping Jos\u00e9 Zepeda, a victory that earned him the WBC Silver super lightweight title, which he successfully defended last year against Mathieu Germain. Now, Smith will challenge for a world title for the first time, arriving undefeated with a record of 18-0 and 13 knockouts.<\/span><\/p>\n
