Former International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy (25-3, 17 KO’s) will be making his first appearance in over a year on December 11th when he faces journeyman Dhafir Smith (23-19-7, 4 KO’s) in a 12 round bout for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization super middleweight title at the Jannus Landing, in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
