Chris Eubank Jr is on a quest to redeem himself after a TKO defeat to Liam Smith, as the two British fighters face off again this weekend in Manchester.
In their first bout last January, Smith managed to knock down Eubank Jr twice before securing a win in the fourth round. The rematch is also set to take place at the AO Arena this Saturday.
The 35-year-old Smith defied expectations with his win eight months prior. Will history repeat itself, or will the 33-year-old Eubank Jr make a triumphant return as he gears up for another shot at a world title?
