The 30-year-old Liverpudlian (22-1-KO12) fights in front of his home fans at the Olympia on Saturday night - live on Sky Sports.
Smith weighed in spot on the super-featherweight limit of 9st 4lbs, while his Italian opponent (37-3-1-KO19) tipped the scales at 9st 3lb 1oz.
The pair then faced-off and it all seemed pleasant enough with Boschiero patting his foe on the shoulder and then offering him his hand, but the pair then started pushing and pulling and had to be separated by security.
Elsewhere on the card, Gary Buckland fights Sean Dodd in a British lightweight title eliminator after champion Scott Cardle - who had been scheduled to face Buckland - was forced to pull out due to a quad injury.
Wales' Buckland weighed in at 9st 12.5lb while 'Masher' Dodd was slightly lighter at 9st 11.5lb.
Undefeated light-welterweight Bradley Saunders was 10st 2.5lb while his opponent, Renald Garrido was just half a pound heavier.
