'You couldn't get in my head!' - Chris Eubank Jr reveals Liam Smith Instagram DMs

Liam Smith was accused of being 'delusional' by Chris Eubank Jr during a heated exchange via direct messages on social media.

Eubank and Smith's hotly anticipated fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester this Saturday, and the war of words between the two has continued.

Last week Eubank revealed Smith had slid into his 'DMs' on Instagram, and now the 33-year-old has revealed the exchanges between the pair which started on January 6.

Kicking things off, Smith said: "Boss BANTS, crazy d*v,” to which Eubank replied: "It may seem like banter now...but once that bell goes & the cooking actually begins you won't be laughing, trust me."

Smith then responded: "I can't f****** wait, don't you worry,” before Eubank hit back saying: "Medium or well done?...Bloody it is then."

"Are you that nervous that ur still trying to get under my skin,” Smith then asked, to which Eubank said: "I was under your skin long before this mate, everyone sees it."

Smith then said: "Chris if that's what you think, your way off mate. But let's just wait and see. We're here now, not long to go," to which Eubank responded: "It's what I know along with everyone else. You ain't fooling anybody with your silly little laughs...people see right through that s***. I'm in your head...accept it like your going to have the accept the cooking you are about to receive in a couple of weeks time."

"Your hoping your in my head haha you couldn't get in my head, your not clever enough. Your a game hungry t**. Like I have told u before, I can't f****** wait, trust me," Smith said in response.

Before Eubank fired back: "You slid in my DM's then claim I'm not in your head. A delusional fool if I ever saw one."

Smith, a former WBO super-welterweight champion, is undefeated in his last three bouts after stopping Anthony Fowler, Jessie Vargas and Hassan Mwakinyo.

And when asked by the ECHO if he feels he deserves more respect, 'Beefy' said: “That's for other people. I don’t care about respect in that way.

"Again, he is trying to play the game that I have never fought anyone as good as him. I have fought Canelo. He is also trying to make out I went down on one knee and looked at the referee counting to 10 and quit against Canelo.

“It is just Chris being Chris. Let's not beat around the bush. I have hurt him in the body, you haven’t hurt me and that is that.”
