A decorated amateur who decided not to compete at the 2020 Olympics after a rejig of weight categories, Smith has moved to 16-0 in his professional career but has fought only once in the past 19 months because of a mixture of injury and difficult match-making. In that one recent fight, though, he put on a show and stopped two-time former world champion Jose Zepeda in the fifth round to take the vacant WBC silver super lightweight strap.
Nicknamed Thunder, the 27-year-old Sheffield native will be looking to move quickly and picking up the European belt will improve his ranking for bigger tests to come.
First, though, Smith must overcome Ouizza. The 33-year-old Parisian has only once fought outside his native France, but a solid 19-2 record is still nothing to be sniffed at. Though official figures have been hard to come by, Ouizza has a significant height and reach advantage over his opponent judging by pre-fight pictures and if the underdog is to stand a chance of beating the Steel City prospect, he'll have to use that physique to his advantage. Box on the outside and don't get caught to the body will be the plan.
There's also a decent undercard to look forward to as Harry Scarff defends his British and Commonwealth welterweight titles against Conah Walker and Ellie Scotney defends her IBF super bantamweight strap against Mea Motu.
