Dalton Smith vs. Mathieu Germain Fight Preview
Smith (17-0, 13 KOs), widely regarded as one of Britain’s most promising talents, steps back into the ring in front of a roaring home crowd. The 28-year-old has torn through the domestic scene with clinical precision, boasting a knockout rate of 76%, having finished 13 of his 17 bouts inside the distance. With world title aspirations in sight, Smith knows a statement performance on DAZN and FitePass PPV could launch him into global contention.
But standing in his way is a battle-tested veteran with a hunger of his own. Mathieu Germain (26-2-1, 11 KOs) arrives in the UK riding a red-hot streak, unbeaten since November 2020 and looking for his ninth straight victory. At 35, Germain brings valuable experience and ring IQ, with 29 fights under his belt—twelve more than Smith. Though he holds a modest KO percentage of 42%, the Canadian has proved time and time again that he knows how to navigate deep waters and outwork younger opponents.
This bout marks Germain’s international debut, and he enters enemy territory not just to make up the numbers. The pressure lies on Smith to perform in front of his supporters, while Germain brings the freedom of the underdog — and all the momentum of a man who knows his time might be now.
