“Delicious”: Former World Title Challenger At Loss Of Words For Chris Eubank Jr’s Sensational Performance Against Liam Smith

Initially scheduled for June 17, the Chris Eubank Jr.–Liam Smith rematch was postponed to the 1st of July and then finally pushed back to September 2 because of the latter’s injuries. And when the day of reckoning came, ‘Next Gen,’ putting his all into the fight, stunned everyone with an excellent performance. Outboxing Liam Smith, Chris Eubank Jr. paid him back in the same coin and won via technical knockout in the tenth round. Among the many who saw Eubank Jr. punish Smith stood Derek Chisora.

The Heavyweight lost a bout, a title challenger, to Tyson Fury in December last year. However, eight months later, he defeated the American Gerald Washington on August 12 as one of the cards in the Anthony Joshua–Robert Helenius fight.

‘Next Gen’s sweet revenge, incomparable according to Derek Chisora

As it appears, the video is seemingly a collage of interviews taken before and after the Eubank Jr.-Smith match. It begins with iFL TV‘s Kugan Cassius checking for Chisora’s pick on the next fight. The Heavyweight boxer replied that it could be Joseph Parker, Deontay Wilder, or Anthony Joshua. The ‘Del Boy War’ shared his views on the Oleksandr Usyk–Daniel Dubois low-blow controversy.

Then, he also spoke about Anthony Joshua’s future fights. Finally, it was time for him to speculate on the Eubank Jr.-Smith fight. Chisora said, “…if Eubank comes in with how he came in last time, it’s going to be a good night, but I think this time he’s well prepared…he doesn’t want to embarrass his new team.”

So, after the eighth-minute mark, it was back to Derek Chisora, looking happy at Eubank Jr.’s success. Cassius asked, “Derek, what do you make of Chris Bank’s performance?” Chisora replied, “Unbelievable, beautiful, delicious…delicious, delicious, beautiful… yeah yeah… yeah yeah yeah… it’s delicious….” Then, one of the boxer’s acquaintances joined and mentioned, “…there’s more… (for Eubank Jr.), that was only four weeks preparation, there’s more…” When Chisora, sounding surprised, asked for the four weeks, the response from his friend came, “…yeah, with BoMac, there’s four weeks and more…”

When asked for his views on the referee’s decision to stop the match in the tenth round, Derek Chisora, mentioning that Liam Smith was severely battered, concurred with the match official’s move. It was the day of the underdog. Chris Eubank Jr. finally turned the tables. The 33-year-old son of boxing great Chris Eubank suffered a significant setback on January 21 when Liam Smith defeated him with a fourth-round technical knockout.
