Dalton Smith vs Alberto Puello on October 24: WBC title and DAZN guide

Dalton Smith’s first defense of the WBC super-lightweight world title is set for Saturday, October 24, against Alberto Puello at Utilita Arena Sheffield. It is a homecoming for the Sheffield champion after he stopped Subriel Matías in January to win the belt. Puello has held the WBC title before, so this is a meeting of the current champion and a former holder rather than a routine first defense.

Where can fans watch? The World Boxing Council lists DAZN as the live broadcaster and gives 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States and 8:00 p.m. in Spain among its start times. These are published event times, not guaranteed ring-walk times for Smith and Puello. Check the current DAZN event listing and local time zone as fight week approaches, because the running order and broadcast details can change.

The title at stake is the WBC’s 140-pound world championship. Matchroom’s current event page lists Smith at 19-0 with 14 knockouts and Puello at 25-1 with 11. Those are the promoter’s pre-fight records. The WBC describes Puello as a former champion who successfully defended against Sandor Martín, while Smith’s win over Matías began his reign this January. Puello’s movement and experience create a different test for Smith in front of his home crowd, although no result can be inferred from records or styles alone.

There is also a substantial supporting card. Matchroom lists Giorgio Visioli versus Maxi Hughes for the WBC International Silver lightweight title and Shannon Ryan versus Emma Dolan for British, Commonwealth and IBF Intercontinental super-flyweight titles. The promoter still shows opponents to be confirmed for some other fighters, so treat any fuller lineup as provisional until the card is finalized.

For readers deciding when to tune in, the practical checklist is simple: October 24, Utilita Arena Sheffield, DAZN, and the WBC super-lightweight championship in the main event. The key updates to watch for are the final bout order, local broadcast start and weigh-in results. We will add confirmed results after the event, keeping the preview’s advance information separate from what actually happens in the ring.
