Liam Smith sends blunt warning to Chris Eubank Jnr as eagerly-anticipated fight finally confirmed

Liam Smith believes Chris Eubank Jnr has made a 'big mistake' and warned him he is in for the 'toughest night of his career' when they meet in January.

The pair will go head-to-head at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, January 21, in a huge British middleweight clash, which will be shown on live Sky Sports Box Office. Smith heads into the mouth-watering bout in the form of his life following wins over Jesse Vargas, Anthony Fowler and Roberto Garcia.

And after his winning BOXXER debut in September, the former Archbishop Beck pupil immediately set his sights on Eubank Jr as he plots his path to becoming a world champion for a second time. Eubank, who is the son of the legendary former world champion Chris Eubank, has successfully carved out his own reputation in the sport and has been eager to step back inside the ropes after his proposed October bout with Conor Benn was postponed.
