Paul Smith fancies a crack at IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale.

Former British super-middleweight champion Smith should be in action in September.

He's dropped down to middleweight after losing to James DeGale in December.

And he returned to action with an impressive win at the O2 Arena in May.

Australian Geale has lost just once in 26 fights, and defeated Sebastian Sylvester on a split decision to lift the IBF title in May.

With Smith looking for meaningful fights in the next 12 months, he could be a feasible opponent.

The Scouser was ranked highly with the WBO at super-middleweight before that DeGale set back.

And he'll want to make his way into the top 10 at 160 pounds as well.
