Smith is made to work for first pro title

By

Harrow’s super-featherweight prospect Mitchell Smith won his first professional title but was pushed all the way by underdog Scott Moises at the Copper Box Arena.

Former ABA champion Smith, 20, picked up the southern-area belt after coming through the toughest test of his promising career so far.

He won a decision by just one point (96-95) following a fiercely competitive 10-round contest at the east London venue.

Moises, from Norfolk, showed great spirit and landed with a number of shots but Smith was able to extend his unbeaten record to 7-0.
