Boxing : Dalton Smith's title defense derailed by unexpected injury

Dalton Smith is out of his title defense against Alberto Puello due to an injury sustained in training. This setback for the WBC super-lightweight champion disrupts his plans to fight in his hometown of Sheffield on June 6. Fans will now see a flyweight unification bout between Galal Yafai and Ricardo Sandoval headline the card instead, moving up from the undercard. Smith, who captured the title with a stunning stoppage of Subriel Matias in New York, faces an unexpected delay in his career. Details about the injury remain under wraps from both Matchroom Boxing and Smith. The event will still feature exciting matchups, including Josh Padley defending his Junior European title against Aqib Fiaz, and Ibraheem Sulaimaan challenging Ibrahim Nadim for the British Junior Lightweight belt at the Utilita Arena.
