According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, WBA Super Featherweight champion Jason Sosa will take on Stephen Smith on November 12th in Monte Carlo.
“We are fighting Stephen Smith Nov. 12 in Monte Carlo. Davis or his team priced themselves out,” said Sosa co-promoter Russell Peltz.
“I’m delighted to have this fight, really grateful for the opportunity as I believe it’s a fight I will win,” Smith told ESPN.com on Saturday. “The fact that I got the chance so soon after Pedraza was even better. I was happy to fight again straight after that fight (against Brizuela), and it has proved beneficial now with this opportunity coming about.
“I think Sosa is a good, solid fighter without being spectacular in any area in particular. He has had a couple of decent results lately — drawing with Walters, then beating Fortuna — although, like many, I thought Walters won. [Sosa’s] confidence should be high, and I should be facing him at his best, which I’m relishing.”
