In a thrilling rematch in Manchester, middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. avenged his previous defeat with a dominant performance against Liam Smith. Unlike their January clash, where Eubank faced a crushing knockout, this bout showcased his prowess. Eubank controlled the fight, dropping Smith twice and securing victory in the tenth round with a relentless assault.
Post-victory, an emboldened Eubank immediately shifted his focus to other notable fighters, singling out Conor Benn and Kell Brook, who were present at the event. Brook, having retired in 2022, might consider stepping back into the ring for a compelling matchup.
Another surprise challenge was thrown to former middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Although Eubank mistakenly referred to him as a current titleholder, the intention was clear. Golovkin, having not fought since his bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, could find this callout intriguing.
