Dalton Smith intends to establish himself as one of the leading fighters on the British scene.
With Kell Brook reaching the end of his career, Smith, the British super-lightweight champion, hopes to take on the mantle for boxing in his home city of Sheffield.
“My time will come when I have to pass the torch down, we’re just keeping the cycle going. Obviously I looked up to Kell and what he’s achieved. That’s what I want to do, I want to bring those big nights to Sheffield,” Smith told Sky Sports.

Gary Logan and Andy Scott preview Dalton Smith’s upcoming bout against Kaisee Benjamin, with Smith admitting it will be a ‘dangerous’ fight.
“Selling out 5,000 in Sheffield Arena [in his last fight], I just want to keep building on that.
“More fights, get major titles and I want that big one at Hillsborough stadium for the world title. We’ll keep working hard and see where it takes us.”
