| Having fought elite Super Middleweights such as Andre Ward and Jerson Ravello, Smith indeed has No Fear when it comes to getting in the ring with the big-punching Lacy: “I asked for this fight by calling the matchmaker. Two days later the match was set”, said Smith, who’s last title fight was in April 2008 when he lost to undefeated Adonis Stevenson for the WBC Continental Americas championship. He has no plans to lose again, and miss out on winning the UBO title. The Jeff Lacy vs. Dhafir Smith UBO International Super Middleweight title fight is dubbed “Day I Rise”, and will be promoted by Fightnight Productions and Left Hook Promotions. The twelve-round bout will be televised by Bright House Cable TV. An interesting undercard will feature heavyweight hopeful Lenroy Thomas (16-1, 8 KOs), NABA Female Super Bantamweight champion Jenna Shiver (13-4-1, 2 KOs), a clash of undefeated Light Middleweight prospects between Manny Woods (6-0, 3 KOs) and Gino McClellan (3-0), plus three additional fights.
