Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith: Date, UK start time, TV channel, live stream, PPV price, undercard
CHRIS EUBANK JR returns to the ring in a HUGE clash against Liam Smith later this month.
The second generational bout against Conor Benn was called off after Benn’s failed drugs test, and now Eubank kicks off 2023 with a tough contest.
Smith is a former world title challenger who fought Canelo in 2016 and was on the wrong side of a decision to Jaime Munguia in 2018.
Liverpool ace Smith said: “He’s making a big mistake fighting me. Every time he has fought at the top level, he has failed. I know I am at that level and when he steps up on January 21st in Manchester, I’m confident he’ll lose again.
“If he was at 60% for the fight that never was against Conor Benn, then he’ll need to be at 160% to be ready to face me, a former world champion, in front of thousands of my fans in the North-West.
“For Chris this is a high-risk, low-reward. For me, it’s the perfect platform to show I will rule the world again in 2023. He needs to be prepared for the toughest night of his career.”
