The Calor Gas engineer has has been heard saying he's had the best week ever. Just last week he became a Dad to son Leo born at the Ulster hospital, had FUN as he acted in a big cast movie as a British solder set in Belfast in the 70's - but the Bangor man topped of his week by what many are saying; This latest win is his best fight to date, in this, his 20th fight as a kickboxing fighter. Smith won an unanimous hard fought decision over top Belgium fighter, Nsinga Sassy at the Holiday Inn Belfast Sunday April 13th 2014.
The intercontinental WKN champion's win will hopefully set Smith up as a possible contender for an amateur world title.
