Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith go to war in a middleweight showdown in Manchester on Saturday night. The duo headline the first big British boxing event of the year with both fighters plotting a path to a world title shot.
Eubank Jr last fought 11 months ago, beating Welshman Liam Williams by unanimous decision in Cardiff. And his long break from the ring comes after October’s grudge match against Conor Benn was pulled due to adverse findings in his rival Benn's drugs tests.
Meanwhile, Liverpudlian Smith is in the form of his life after a recent fourth round stoppage over Hassan Mwakinyo.
But Saturday’s bout has now garnered widespread attention beyond the boxing world after an ugly press conference on Thursday. Eubank Jr and Smith apologised for their behaviour after launching personal attacks at each other with tensions spilling over ahead of fight night.
