Eubank Jr. vs Smith: Chris Eubank Jr. has promised that he won’t take much longer to agree to the final details of their rematch, according to Liam Smith.
Liverpool’s Smith will either look to explore his other choices or get the fight signed, sealed, and delivered.
In the first four rounds of their fight in January at the Manchester Arena, Smith spectacularly knocked out Eubank Jr.
Eubank’s contract’s rematch provision was activated last month, but Smith has reminded him that there is still time to decide on the location, the date, and other details.
Boxing’s marquee fights can be challenging to pull together, but promoter Ben Shalom is sure that the rematch is still very much on.
“I believe Liam is merely eager to declare the fight right away. Chris clearly initiated his rematch since we’ve already given [his promoter] Wasserman the potential date. We’re anticipating their conversation with Chris. We believe everyone will be happy with that day,” said Shalom.
Smith has made a name for himself as a top middleweight. For example, the WBO has already declared him the mandatory challenger for Janibek Alimkhanuly, their champion.
“Liam is only interested in getting the Eubank rematch started. He has other fights he wants to engage in at some point, so I believe he just wants to finish this one,” explained Shalom.
“I believe he has been waiting for us to choose a date and establish terms. He is likely asking why it has not yet been announced. Crossing our fingers that this pressure will help us decide on a date.”
Although Smith’s victory in the first fight was unquestionable, Eubank Jr. in particular will have a lot riding on a rematch.
“For Eubank Jr., the fight is so important. It would be difficult for him to lose. But if he wins, he will have several massive fights again and earn a tonne of money, so I believe that’s why he’s so eager for the rematch. simply because the benefits are so significant, “explained Shalom.
“The same individuals who stated it was absolutely impossible for Liam Smith to knock out Eubank Jr. now claim it is only a formality and that it is impossible for Eubank to defeat Liam Smith. Nothing about boxing is formal.
“Eubank Jr. getting knocked out is a first for us. We witnessed it for the first time in his professional career,” he added.
