Background: Chris Eubank Jr. was scheduled meet rival Conor Benn in a much-anticipated 157-pound bout last Oct. 8 but the fight was scrapped after Benn tested positive for a banned substance. Three months later Eubank will face another fellow Englishman, former 154-pound titleholder Liam Smith. Eubank, 33, is on a roll, having won six consecutive fights since losing a unanimous decision to then-world titleholder George Groves in 2018. He last fought in February of last year, when he put Liam Williams down four times and won a wide decision. Smith, 34, also has enjoyed success recently. He has won three in a row since losing a unanimous decision to Magomed Kurbanov in May 2021. His most-recent fight was last September, when he stopped Hassan Mwakinyo in four rounds in a scheduled 12-round 160-pound bout. Smith is ranked at 154 pounds by all four major sanctioning bodies. He might be best known for losing his 154-pound title to Canelo Alvarez by a ninth-round knockout in 2016 at AT&T Stadium outside Dallas.
