Liam Smith has laughed off Chris Eubank Jr's plan to appeal against his defeat over an alleged 'illegal elbow'.
The British star earned a huge win over his domestic rival at the weekend stopping Eubank Jr in a devastating fourth round to settle their domestic grudge. Moments after the win, Smith's rival admitted he lost to the better man on the night and was going to take time to consider whether to activate his rematch clause.
However a fan-led theory emerged online which suggested Smith landed an illegal elbow on Eubank Jr during the flurry that closed the show, which was demonstrated by freeze frames. NextGen's promoter then confirmed to Sky Sports that they are considering an appeal to the British Boxing Board of Control.
