Liam Smith has dedicated his win over Chris Eubank Jr to Nick Blackwell who was left in a coma by the Liverpudlian's rival.
Smith took on bitter rival Eubank Jr in a huge pay-per-view showdown at the Manchester Arena which ended in glory, after he produced a scintillating fourth-round stoppageto close the show in dominant fashion. The Liverpudlian brutally sent his opponent crashing to the canvas with a barrage of powerful shots before the referee deemed Eubank Jr unable to continue.
And as Smith waits for his rival to decide whether to activate his rematch clause, the victor released an emotional message paying tribute to Blackwell, which the retired fighter posted on his social media.
