Smigga sets his sights on Kenny Anderson

Former British super-middleweight champion Paul Smith has set his sights on regaining the crown.

"Smigga" returns to action on November 9 in his home city of Liverpool and he's hoping that a stellar display will put him in contention for a showdown with newly crowned domestic ruler Kenny Anderson.

"I'm gunning for Anderson now he's got hold of the Lonsdale belt," Smith, 31 - 3 (17 KOs), said.

"I just need to get back in there on November 9th and show what I'm capable of doing after such a long time out of the ring, then when that's done, the Anderson showdown is the fight I want.

"Training has been going really well and I know that come 9^th November I'm not going to leave anything to chance when it comes to setting up a shot at the British title."

Smith's return to action will come on the undercard of Paul Butler's clash with fellow Scouser John Donnelly for the vacant British super-flyweight title.
