Will it be repeat or revenge when Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr. compete in a rematch on September 2?
The fight will take place at the same AO Arena in Manchester as their first bout in January. The event will air on Sky Sports Box Office in the U.K. and ESPN+ in the U.S. A Smith injury delayed the fight from its initial June date.
A former WBO super welterweight champion, Smith is on a four-fight win streak, with all bouts ending via TKO. “Beefy” knocked Eubank down early in the fourth when they first clashed and he never recovered. The stricken fighter rose on unsteady legs and Smith continued to score vicious blows until the referee had seen enough.
Smith, 35, believes he wounded Eubank but knows he will still be formidable when they enter the ring.
"That makes him dangerous," Smith told Sky Sports. "Do I think Chris is scared of me? No. He's got vulnerabilities now, and he's probably got 'fear' of me, as in he knows I can knock him out. A lot of people are going to be sitting thinking, is he coming for a fight with Liam? Is he going to try and stick it right on Liam? If he does, then we're in for a well better fight than we had last time.”
