Bitter rivals Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith go face to face in the rematch on Saturday, September 2 live on Sky Sports Box Office from AO Arena in Manchester, England. The pair squares off in the 12-round main event bout at middleweight. Four bouts joining the lineup of undercard action have been announced today.
Smith defeated Eubank Jr via fourth-round TKO in January at the same venue, scoring a pair knockdowns along the way. The latter believed his opponent used an elbow in the combination that sent him down and activated the contracted rematch clause.
