    Liverpool's former British super middleweight champion Paul 'Smigga' Smith spoke to BritishBoxers about the reasons behind him joining Gallagher's Manchester gym, Joe Gallagher's obsession with boxing, moving back down to middleweight and his next fight.

    Smith who lost his Lonsdale belt in December last year to rising British star James DeGale, will move back down to his natural weight and with the fresh start and momentum that the Gallagher switch as given him, Smith hopes training with the champions in his new camp will only help his next coming in the game.

    I have been begging for Smith to move to Middle for years. At that weight he can still become a big threat to the world rankings and I wish him all the best.

    Please stick with it Smigga and come back smaller, faster and stronger.

    I think he makes a good point in the interview about not just dropping the weight for the sake of fighting at middle. The strength needs to be there also. I think what a lot of peoples problem with smith has been the fighting at smw was seen as an easier option in terms of making weight and opportunities. It's great to see a rededication to the cause.

    Great guy Paul Smith.

    He is Liverpool's current fighter, he's the one leading the way like John Conteh did.

    I never used to like him, but when i watched one of his last interviews before the Degale fight.

    The things he was saying resonated with me.

    I've stressed for years, that he should of been fighting at Middle Weight. He was carrying puppy fat at Supermiddle Weight, and he's a very small guy for the weight.
