Liam Smith makes the trip from Liverpool to Manchester this weekend, with a fight against Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday night at the AO Arena.
Smith makes the step up to middleweight for the contest, as he faces a fellow former world champion in the shape of Eubank Jr. Both will be hoping to put in a good performance with the hopes of earning a world title shot in the future in what is a middleweight division packed full of talent.
Eubank Jr is also back to his usual weight, having cut weight to hit the 157lbs limit for his fight against Conor Benn, which was then called off in controversial fashion back in October. Smith's last fight was a win against Hassan Mwakinyo back in September and it is set to be an exciting contest as part of a Boxxer card packed with big names.
