Chris Eubank Jr set for second Liam Smith fight after activating rematch clause

Chris Eubank Jr will attempt to seek revenge after his loss to Liam Smith by activating his rematch clause to face the Scouser for the second time.

The son-of-a-legend was knocked out for the first time in his professional career in a shocking upset at the hands of Smith last month in Manchester. Smith started the fight brightly and Eubank Jr appeared to be finding his groove come the fourth round, but the fight was waved off when Eubank Jr failed to recover after being knocked down and pounced on by his rival.

Eubank Jr produced two excuses following his defeat and planned to appeal the loss after Smith landed an alleged 'illegal elbow', a claim that 'Beefy' laughed off. Three weeks on from the fight and Eubank Jr has now revealed he will activate his rematch clause in the hopes of levelling the scores with Smith.
