Liam Smith has claimed Chris Eubank Jr was "terrified" in their fight when comparing it to their sparring session.
Smith made a huge statement, dropping and stopping British star Eubank Jr inside the opening four rounds of their grudge fight in Manchester last year, despite being significant underdog. His rival had access to a rematch clause and after exploring his options has decided to activate it which will see the pair meet again on June 17 at the AO Manchester Arena.
In the build-up, the pair had exchanged verbal barbs over a previous sparring session they shared seven years ago when Smith's brother Paul was preparing to face Arthur Abraham. Both men were confident that they were the one to have had the upper hand with the secret staying firmly within the walls of the gym.
