A lively crowd filled Sheffield’s Canon Medical Arena, eager to see hometown star Dalton Smith headline a card that also featured former world champ Josh Warrington, fast‑rising lightweight puncher Josh Padley, and unbeaten Belfast technician Caoimhin Agyarko. A mix of title stakes, comeback narratives, and unbeaten records on the line had local fans buzzing before the first bell - and the night delivered plenty of drama before the scorecards were read.
In the main event, Dalton Smith turned his Sheffield homecoming into a showcase, flooring Canada’s Mathieu Germain three times (rounds 2, 11 and 12) and cruising to a wide unanimous decision, 117‑107 and twin 119‑105 cards, despite losing a point for a low blow in the final minute. With the victory, the unbeaten “Thunder” moved to 18‑0 and kept hold of his WBC Silver super‑lightweight strap, while Germain’s eight‑fight run ended at 26‑3‑1.

Former IBF featherweight ruler Josh Warrington halted a three‑bout skid in the co‑feature, out‑working India’s Asad Asif Khan over ten rounds at super‑feather. Warrington scored a knockdown, watched Khan lose a point for repeatedly spitting out his gumshield, and swept the cards 99‑89, 99‑90, 97‑91 to rise to 32‑4‑1.
In the undercard, Josh Padley captured the vacant WBA International lightweight title with a fifth‑round stoppage of previously unbeaten Marko Cvetanovic. A sustained flurry at 1:13 left the Serbian on unsteady legs and prompted the referee’s intervention; Padley climbs to 16‑1, Cvetanovic slips to 13‑1.
In the opener, Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko edged Ryan Kelly by majority decision (95‑95, 97‑94, 96‑94) to secure the WBA Continental super‑welterweight belt, preserving his perfect slate at 17‑0 while Kelly falls to 19‑6‑1.
