“I can’t tell you how excited I am to return to Liverpool as world champion to defend my titles,” said Smith.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to bring world championship boxing to the city and hopefully this is the first of a big run of fights here.
“My last three fights have been on the road in Germany, Saudi Arabia and New York and whilst they have been incredible experiences, there is nothing quite like a big fight night in Liverpool. It’s also pleasing that I get to be involved in a domestic fight against a tough opponent in John Ryder.” Ryder Smith Watch online
