Goodison Park has emerged as an unlikely venue for Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr’s summer rematch.
Smith stopped Eubank Jr with brutal and clinical authority in the fourth round of their middleweight contest at a packed AO Arena in Manchester at the end of January. The defeat by Smith was the third of the 33-year-old’s professional career and first via stoppage.
Smith had suggested he would prefer a fresh opponent in his next contest, as the 34-year-old eyed a clash with former world champion Gennady Golovkin, but he now looks to be on course for a second meeting with Eubank Jr after the Brighton fighter activated his rematch clause last month.
