Will Dalton Smith get his 'Dream' fight against US world champion?
Dalton Smith's name is being touted for a "dream" opportunity to fight WBC champion Devin Haney as part of another Matchroom v Queensberry 5v5 tournament.
The new look concept was a commercial success for both British promotion firms, recently, with Frank Warren's outfit sweeping the board in Saudi Arabia.
Hearn said later they were already in talks for a chance of revenge.
Broadcasters talkSPORT are advocating a British v USA style project, on similar lines.
And that's where Sheffield's Smith comes in.
They think he would be a good opponent for Haney, whose nickname is The Dream.
Ryan Garcia outpointed Haney in April but Garcia had not made the weight - and seemingly failed a substance test - so Haney kept his belt.
TalkSPORT stated: "Providing Haney successfully defends his WBC super-lightweight belt against Sandor Martin in his next outing then a showdown with Dalton Smith would make a lot of sense.
"The Sheffield boxer recently picked up the WBC 'silver' trinket belt by beating Jose Zepeda in March and is ranked No.3 by the major sanctioning body.
"Smith is widely considered to be one of Britain's most exciting up-and-comers and his win over Zepeda proves he is worthy of challenging for world honours."
That will be music to the ears of the Handsworth fighter who won the WBC Silver Super Lightweight title at Sheffield Arena in March.
He is too level-headed to get overly excited at a punt from any media platform, but as he pointed out in The Star recently he will take whatever fights he can to propel him towards a world title. As a Sheffielder, that would put him in the same category as the likes of Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Clinton Woods and Kell Brook.
The former Outwood Academy pupil was on a profile mission in Saudi during the recent Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk show, aiming to get his face and name known at the sport's highest level.
The Steel City gym boxer told The Star said: "It was a good experience.
"I was doing some work with a new (computer) boxing game coming out October 11, and watching the Fury fight, witnessing real history, the first undisputed world heavyweight championship fight in 25 years.
"It lived up to all expectations. I would love to see a re-match."
Smith said he enjoyed rubbing shoulders with some big names out there.
"It was about showing my face and getting around people in that sort of environment.
Who knows I may get a big fight in Saudi one of these days. If it makes money it makes sense!"
Smith met some powerhouses of the sport in Riyadh, including Roberto Duran, Larry Holmes and Marco Antonio Barrera.
"It was good for the camera roll and nice to say you've met legends of the game."
