Paul Smith has confirmed that he will take on James DeGale at Liverpool's ECHO Arena on December the 11th. Smith will defend his British super-middleweight belt and will be hoping to exact a measure of revenge on DeGale, who blew away fellow Liverpudlian CarlDilks in a single round last month.
'Smigga' is 29-1 (15) and far more experienced than DeGale, 8-0 (6), although the match-up itself suggests that promoter Frank Warren is supremely confident in DeGale's
ability to acquit himself well at the top domestic level. The winner is expected to move
onto Euro and world honours during 2011.
Further bill details to follow.
