Paul Smith to face Tyron Zeuge for world title


Paul Smith will challenge Tyron Zeuge for the WBA's world super-middleweight title next month.

The 34-year-old has landed a third chance at world level after suffering back-to-back defeats to WBO champion Arthur Abraham in 2014 and 2015.

Smith - oldest of four fighting brothers - was stopped by Andre Ward in his next fight but has since strung together three straight wins.

German Zeuge is unbeaten in 21 fights and won the title in a rematch with Giovanni De Carolis after their first meeting ended in a draw.
