A clash of English boxers will go down later today (Sat., Jan. 21. 2023) live on DAZN from inside the AO Arena in Manchester, England, as Chris Eubank Jr. (32-2, 23 KO) makes his return to the ring against former WBO light-middleweight champion Liam Smith (32-3-1, 19 KO).
This is a big contest for both fighters, but today’s card will mark Eubank’s first fight in nearly a year. The talented British contender was last seen defeating Liam Williams via split decision back in Feb. 2022. That victory helped extend Eubank’s current win streak to six, propelling him into this matchup with Smith.
Smith, on the other hand, was last seen knocking out Hassan Mwakinyo this past September. That finish extended Smith’s current unbeaten streak to three dating back to his unanimous decision loss to Magomed Kurbanov in 2021. This is a big opportunity for Smith to knock off a local rival and remind the middleweight division that he’s a force to be reckoned with.
