Dalton Smith has given an update on his future plans after missing out on a fight with Adam Azim.
Azim vacated the European super lightweight title to set up a clash with Harlem Eubank, leaving Smith looking elsewhere.
He is in line for a challenge for the vacant strap, and has also been linked with former super lightweight champion Regis Prograis.
Speaking to BoxingScene, Smith believes both a European belt fight and a clash with Prograis remain possible, and expects news soon.
He said: “The latest with me – I’ve got purse bids [due] for the European title. We’re going ahead with those, and names of Regis Prograis – they’re the fights I’m looking for. Hopefully we can make them happen.
“It’s whatever makes sense and the fights that can be made. The Regis fight’s looking like it’s going to be hard to make, but I take each fight at a time, and I trust the process, and [that] a couple of those big fights will come.
“We’re looking maybe [at the] end of July; just after July [for my next fight date]. We’re just working on a few things. I’ll have some fight news pretty soon.
“I’m ranked three with the WBC, and I’m pushing up towards those bigger fights. Whatever the biggest fights are makes sense, so I’ll be keeping my eye on that fight [between Taylor and Catterall], but I’m on my own journey; on my own path. But I’m not a million miles away from these sorts of fights.”
