Eleven months after last stepping in the ring—and less than three months after his high-profile fight against Conor Benn had to be scrapped after Benn failed a drug test—Chris Eubank Jr. will get to take another important step in his career on Saturday against a former world titlist in Liam Smith. And there are plenty of bad feelings between these two. Here’s everything you need to know about Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win.
Eubank and Benn were set for their UK mega-fight in October, but Benn tested positive for a fertility drug that increases testosterone and that’s also used as a drug masking agent. Though it was originally believed the fight could be saved (or at least postponed), Eubank had to move on. And now he’ll face Smith, a former 154-pound titlist who continues to be a tough opponent.
