Eddie Hearn names the fighter who he thinks is ‘a world champion in waiting’
Eddie Hearn was over the moon watching Dalton Smith stop Jose Zepeda earlier this month and he’s even happier that the Sheffield man has extended his stay with Matchroom.
Smith announced himself on the world stage by stopping the former world title challenger and now Hearn is hopeful that bigger nights are ahead.
Smith’s win over Zepeda has sent a message to numerous fighters at lightweight and his next move could be an intriguing one.
The rising star has been linked to many fights including battles with Adam Azim and Regis Prograis, and Hearn can’t wait to see what the future holds for Smith.
“I’m delighted to extend our promotional deal with Dalton Smith who I believe is a World Champion in waiting,” said Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn.
“When he produces performances like that against Jose Zepeda, it makes it very easy to do my job. After such a special win at the weekend, the next one is going to be even bigger.”
