How will that work, he has to fight Eubank first.

Contractually he’s obliged to fight CEJ as per rematch clause.

WBC have also placed Smith #1.
Not called any mandatory yet though.

Can Eubank take a step aside or have a different fight THEN force the rematch?
This is a crazy fight, bad style for Liam but I’d never write him off.

Can't Liam fight this bloke first then give soft lad a shot at the title as a voluntary? Would give Eubank more time to recover, maybe he could have a tune up too on the undercard

Smith gotta give Alim a fight, but probably Alim will be better prepared than in his last bout and his power will matter.

Smith is 34 and now a household British name. He’ll prefer fight a big name on Sky like Eubank/Brook/Saunders on Sky PPV rather than go and be the away fighter for crap money at 4 in the morning UK time.

I wouldn’t say he’s a household name. Ask 100 people and probably no one would know him.
I mean there are very few ‘household’ names in boxing. In the U.K. prob only Joshua and Fury.

I meant in British boxing and he can sell out Manchester Arena and do another few hundred thousand buys on PPV. More money than the Janibek fight.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 14:19I wouldn’t say he’s a household name. Ask 100 people and probably no one would know him.

He’s got enough support and he’s been on a run and been putting on a show.

I'd guess he would earn far more for the Eubank rematch

The rags are saying Benn-Eubank in June in UAE.
Smith may as well go for Jani

He is pissed at Boxxer. Made that clear in every interview he did last week.
