Liam Smith slipped into my direct message and he’s not a happy bunny
With their fight at the Manchester Arena looming large and the build-up almost over, it’s safe to say a bit of animosity has seeped into each other between Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith.
And Eubank threw some more spice into the proceedings in a recent interview with Sports skyclaims that he’s been receiving a few fewer Instagram messages than usual from ‘Beefy.’
“I was in his head, he even slipped in my DM a few days ago when he messaged me on Instagram. So I know I’ve confused him and I’m just looking forward to getting the job done by the 21st.”
“I can’t really repeat a lot of the language he used in those direct messages but he’s not a happy bunny, let’s just say it.”
“I think his frustration and anger will affect the way the game is going, and it won’t work in his favor.”
“I sent him a few pennies back – you have to! Who knows? Maybe in battle week, I’ll screenshot it and post it.”
There was a lot of trash talk deployed by both men before their January 21 clashsuch as Eubank claiming he only needs to be at 50% to be able to better beat Smith, and Liverpudlian mocking the ‘next Gen’s hairline’ on social media.
Both men will be well aware that the talk will soon be over, as they prepare to take part in one of Britain’s most intriguing competitions in recent years.
A rematch clause was in place should Eubank tasted defeat, however the same provision was not granted to Smith, who would only win a jailbreak by ousting his arrogant opponent.
Sports sky announced a solid base for the event, there will be both Joseph Parker and Richard Riakporhe.
