Subriel Matias puts his WBC super-lightweight title on the line tonight when he faces undefeated challenger Dalton Smith in New York City.
The Puerto Rican star is bidding to maintain his major strap against a Briton who firmly has his own designs on a reign as world champion.
Matias has been forced to shut out the noise after a rocky road to what is his first defence since he defeated Alberto Puello for the crown.
Before he takes to the ring, DAZN News relives the highlights of that triumph to take the honour back in July 2025. You can watch it here.
