Chris Eubank Jr Vs. Liam Smith for £19.95 on Sky PPV on January 21


Via Charles Brun: The current price for the Chris Eubank Jr card against Liam Smith on January 21 on Sky Sports PPV is £19.95 on Sky PPV for their match at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Former IBO super middleweight champion Eubank Jr is still hoping to take on Conor Benn welterweight after his case is resolved.

If Benn gets a long-term ban, Eubank Jr will have to decide whether he wants to try to fight for the world title at 160 or continue looking for easy scores in the weight classes below him.

At Eubank Jr’s age, he should have shown more ambition to do something about his career rather than setting up circus-like fights against opponents who are unlikely to win titles. .

Eubank Jr (32-2, 23 KOs) says he will only be at 50% for the fight, which he feels is all it takes to beat 34-year-old Smith (32-3-1, 19 KOs), and he’s probably right.

Smith recently struggled to beat Jessie Vargas, his past inactivity last April before stopping him in the tenth round.

You could argue that if Vargas hadn’t run out of gas, he would have beaten Smith. In injury time, the scores were 88-83, 86-85 and 86-85.

Fight under the cards:

  • Joseph Parker vs. Jack Massey
  • Richard Riakporhe vs Krzysztof Glowacki
  • Frazer Clarke vs. TBA
  • Ekow Essuman vs. Chris Kongo
  • Scott Forrest vs. Amine Boucetta
  • Mary Harris vs TBA

Eubank Jr: Just 50% to beat Liam Smith

“He doesn’t really talk too much. It’s me and he reacts to that, which is good. I think that’s how it’s going to play out in the fight with him having to survive and react to everything I put on him until he can’t take it anymore,” Chris Eubank Jr said. boxer about Liam Smith at the press conference.

“50% is all I need to beat Liam Smith. Was it getting under his skin? Perhaps, yes. What will he do with it? That is the question. I think this fight is going to be awesome and very exciting for me as a fighter, fighting against the style that Liam Smith has.

“It’s going to be fun. It’s style inside, looking, bobbing, weaving. You can’t do that with a lot of fighters. With him, I’ll be able to play that game, and it’s going to be fun. It’s going to be a great game to watch,” said Eubank Jr.

Chris Jr drew attention from boxing fans for choosing to fight the fading 154-pound Smith instead of an opponent from the 160-pound.

At 33, Eubank Jr should face mid-sized opposition rather than combine weight classes below him to set up a fight against smaller, less talented guys like Conor Benn and Liam Smith.

Smith hasn’t beaten anyone of note since losing the WBO middleweight title to Canelo Alvarez seven years ago in 2016.

Liam briefly held the WBO belt after beating little-known John Thompson in 2015 and then squeezed out the belt with easy wins over competitors Jimmy Kelly and Predrag Radošević.

“Roy is coming. He’ll be here for this camp,” Eubank Jr said of his coach, Roy Jones Jr. It’s not that I need him here, but I want him. He won’t be there in my final battle because it’s Eubank-Benn, and I’m trying to get my old man involved. But after every battle, as long as it’s not Benn, he’ll get involved.

“I don’t look at him [Liam Smith]but I understand that there are bigger fish out there to fry, and this fight puts me in a good position to do so.

“They’re sponsoring me for this fight,” Eubank Jr said of Kentucky Fried Chicken [KFC]. I quite enjoyed myself in the match against Conor, and I weighed in. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

“You have the protein in the chicken, the carbs & beans and those famous fries. It’s been a great partnership and I’m excited to be a part of the team,” said Eubank Jr.
