Chris Eubank Jr likely to trigger Liam Smith rematch clause with Anfield fight on the cards

Eubank Jr. has pondered filing an appeal after losing to Smith through TKO and claiming that he was elbowed before to the first knockdown. According to promoter Ben Shalom, Chris Eubank Jr. is likely to activate a rematch clause to face Liam Smith once more. Last month in Manchester, Ubank JJr. lost to his fellow Briton through fourth-round TKO, but the 33-year-old has thought about appealing the decision due to the suspected use of an elbow before to Smith's first knockdown. Regardless of whether or not such an appeal proceeds or is successful, Eubank Jr. is anticipated to invoke a contract provision to schedule a rematch with SSmith. All signs point to them activating, according to Shalom, Smith's promoter,on Friday (3 February). We are aware of Chris's strong desire to refight.Liam eventually wants the biggest names and the biggest nights because his pride has been wounded and he absolutely wants a rematch, according to what I've heard. He wants Golovkin, Ennady.

Eubank Jr. has two weeks to invoke the rematch clause, according to Shalom. "It's in Eubank's hands, and until the time has expired, we really can't look past that, and we anticipate him to want to rematch." "At this time, I can't think of a better choice for Eubank Jr. "If a rematch is scheduled, Smith would like that it be at Anfield, the home of his beloved Liverpoolplay. Shalom added, "There is a potential if we can make sure the event takes place close enough to the last game of the season, which I believe is on May 22nd or May 21."It would be the end of May if we were able to reach Anfield." Shalom also voiced scepticism on the idea that Smith's victory might be challenged. I think it's ludicrous, to be honest," he remarked. "I believe that his team is more to blame for this," "I believe they are seeking justifications for what occurred," When you view it again, Liam Smith's combo would be sufficient to render anyone unconscious. I believe that everyone can probably see through the elbow justification. According to what I've heard, the British Boxing Board [of Control] will be involved in additional proceedings.
