Boxer Liam Smith spotted playing football the day after winning title fight

We've all played Sunday league with a hangover after a big night out, but not after a WBA international title fight

Boxer Liam Smith was spotted playing Sunday league football after securing the WBA super-welterweight title against Anthony Fowler on Saturday night. Smith was playing for local side Custy's FC against Allerton in the Liverpool Business Houses Premier League at the home of non-league side Bootle FC. https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1447183429330776068 In his title fight, Smith was able to fend off fellow Liverpudlian Fowler in-front of a sell-out home crowd at the M&S Bank Arena, knocking down his opponent twice - one in the fifth - before referee Howard Foster called off the fight in the eighth round. https://twitter.com/daznboxing/status/1446963106916225027?s=21 It seems as though his exploits on Saturday night didn't stop him from having an impact on the pitch either, with Smith also scoring in the game too. https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1447196253922660354 Earlier last month, the 33-year-old spoke of his love for playing football alongside his professional boxing career and how that as a kid, he had always dreamt of being a footballer. "When I won my world title, I’d be a liar if I said I’d dreamt of the moment my whole life," said Smith. "I never. I dreamt of playing football. I was never going to lose that love for football, especially when I knock about with lads who still play. "I’m just better at boxing than I am at football. I’m okay at football, I can play in a good game with good players. I can get by, but I’m probably too slow. I’m probably a very good player for a boxer, but an average player for a footballer." Smith's loyalty to his side is just as impressive as his boxer career has been. The next time you're planning to avoid turning up to your Sunday league game because of a hangover, think again.
