Chris Eubank Jr's rematch against Liam Smith has been confirmed for later this year.
Smith managed to pull off an impressive upset victory over Eubank via TKO in January at the AO Arena in Manchester. Soon after the bout, the Brighton boxer congratulated 34-year-old Smith on a 'nice shot' and claimed he would be exercising his rematch clause.
On Valentine's Day, Eubank confirmed via social media he had set the wheels in motion for the rematch. Holding a rose, he posted: "This morning I activated the rematch clause via my lawyers and sent to my promoters Wasserman. Happy Valentine's Day Liam Smith."

Who else is on the card?
One other fight has so far been confirmed for the under card. Franchon Crews-Dezurn will face Savannah Marshall for Dezurn's IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO women's super middleweight titles.
What have the fighters said ahead of June 17?
Upon official confirmation of the fight, Eubank said: "Liam had the night of his life against me in January, the stars aligned for him in Manchester, and he went away with a big win. But lightning doesn't strike twice. If he even has the slightest thought that he can beat me again, then great, because it will be his undoing."
Smith said: "I know he tried his best to go a different route but the fight is on now and I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say for himself in the build up. Let's see what angle he comes with this time. He can't come with angles about how he's never been hurt, he's never been dropped, he's never been stopped, because he just had all three of those things happen to him in one night and it was me who did it to him. So I'm interested to see what he comes with this time and I'm also interested to see where he goes after I beat him again on June 17."
