Smith sensationally knocked out Eubank Jr

Ex-middleweight world champion Chris Eubank Jr. sensationally lost to his compatriot Liam Smith by knockout.

The fight became the main event of the evening of boxing in Manchester. Eubank acted in the status of a leader and, as expected, seized the initiative at the beginning of the fight. However, in the 4th round, Smith knocked Chris down twice and the referee stopped the fight.

It will be recalled that Eubank Jr. twice held the title of interim WBA middleweight champion. In the last fight in February 2022, Chris won by decision of the referee Liam Williams.

In October, 33-year-old Eubank was supposed to fight Conor Benn. The fight was canceled after it was revealed that Ben tested positive for doping twice.

Liam Smith, a former welterweight world champion, had two fights in 2022. In his last fight, in September, Smith defeated Hassan Mwakinyo by technical knockout.
