Eubank Jr. vs. Smith: In order to make a comeback, Kell Brook wants to fight the winner of Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith.
At the Manchester Arena in February of last year, Brook defeated Amir Khan, his fiercest adversary. He is aiming for the Eubank-Smith winner though because he wants to go back into the sport.
“Sat. will see Kell there. He needs to know who won that battle badly. After the Khan match, he desired to see Eubank fight,” promoter Ben-Shalom, said to Sky Sports.
“He believes he wants the victor of this match, whether Liam Smith or Eubank Jr. Since there is a rematch clause, Eubank will have the choice if Liam prevails. But whoever wins, there’ll be huge fights,” Shalom continued.
‘Kell Brook most certainly wants to be a part of these huge nights.’
When Smith and Eubank square off live on Saturday on Sky Sports Box Office, the stakes are enormous. If you win, there will be much bigger fights.
“Both of them want to fight again in the summer,” Shalom said. “This is a prelude to huge fights in 2023. But they are both concentrating on this one.
“It would be extremely difficult for Chris and Liam to recover if they lost this.”
However, predicting the winner is difficult. Possibly, Eubank Jr. hasn’t defeated a fighter who was as skilled and in as excellent of shape as Liam Smith is right now. James DeGale was defeated by Eubank, but it was the previous champion’s last match.
“Liam’s problem is that it seems like he has improved over time. Even [Magomed] Kurbanov’s performance outside of Russia was impressive, and he has been more active than Chris in recent years, having competed in many more rounds. He feels prepared for this fight and in good health,” said Shalom.
The promoter said, “He knows what it’s like at that level. Liam is aware of what to anticipate from Chris Eubank Jr. Before, he had been there. He has previously displayed his fortitude and courage. On Saturday, he’ll need all of that.”
“Eubank Jr. is a well-known actor. There aren’t many people like him, especially outside of the heavyweight class. Can he win a world title? remained a persistent enigma, especially after his contest with George Groves. Was he really on the world stage?”
On Saturday night, the answers to those queries will be given. Smith, a former WBO champion, wants to compete again. He has a lot of battle experience at the highest level.
