Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr’s highly-anticipated rematch has been confirmed for June 17 at the AO Arena in Manchester.
Smith shook the boxing world by beating Eubank Jr by TKO in the fourth round of their meeting in Manchester on January 21, 2023.
Eubank took to Twitter immediately after the fight to say: ‘Congratulations to Liam tonight, nice lil shot you caught me with there my boy.
‘Felt like I could of kept going but referee is in charge & I respect his decision. We’ll get it on again soon.’
Eubank followed this up with a Valentines Day message for Smith – claiming he would be activating the rematch clause in his contract on February 14.
