Subriel Matias says he\u2019s going to bring out \u201cThe little girl\u201d in Dalton Smith when he defends his WBC light welterweight title against him on January 10, 2026, on DAZN<\/a> at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The two fighters met today for their kickoff press conference to discuss their upcoming clash.<\/p>\n

A Brit Steps into Deep Waters<\/p>\n

The Eddie Hearn-promoted #1 WBC contender Smith (18-0, 13 KOs) is challenging for a world title for the first time in his six-year pro career. His best win thus far was a 12-round unanimous decision against Mathieu Germain on April 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

Dalton, 28, has been fighting at the British level since starting out in 2019, and it\u2019s questionable how he\u2019ll do taking a step up against world-class competition for the first time. Hearn has done a good job of bringing Smith along, matching him carefully to avoid any setbacks to get him to this point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes you a true warrior is you get knocked down, you dust yourself off, and you become a better person,\u201d said Subriel Matias during today\u2019s kickoff press conference<\/a> for his fight against Dalton Smith on January 10, 2026. \u201cThis is about growth. It just makes you a lot better, and it prepares you for the next challenge.<\/p>\n

Matias Turns Up the Heat Early<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to bring out the little girl you got inside,\u201d said Matias to Smith.<\/p>\n

This is the 33-year-old Puerto Rico-born Matias\u2019s first defense of his WBC title that he won last summer, beating Alberto Puello by a 12-round majority decision on July 12, 2025, in Queens, New York. Their fight was one of the best on the card.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see, \u201d said Dalton in response. \u201cThis is the biggest fight of my career, and there is one thing Subriel will bring out in me. That\u2019s the monster inside me. In the biggest stage of boxing, you have to be at your best. We\u2019ll see on January 10th.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s Moment of Truth<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t seen Smith fight anyone with the kind of power, pressure, and stamina that Matias will be bringing to this fight on January 10th. It\u2019s going to be interesting to see how well he handles the heat that Matias is going to be putting on him in this fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fighters he\u2019s faced, none of them are me, and I\u2019ll show you on January 10th. I consider myself the real deal,\u201d said Matias.<\/p>\n
