Chris Eubank Jr. is gearing up for his rematch against former WBO light middleweight champion Liam Smith. He is looking to take revenge for the TKO loss he suffered from Smith earlier this year. Moreover, he made an unusual proposal about the fight that had Conor McGregor react on social media.

Renowned boxing icon Roy Jones Jr. made the decision to wave in the towel and halt the match during Eubank Jr.’s bout against Smith in January. Furthermore, ‘Next Gen’ was soundly defeated by his Liverpudlian opponent in the fourth round of their encounter. As a result, Eubank Jr. has expressed the need for changes in his forthcoming rematch.

He is not looking for any easy means to win and wants to go to distance against the Liverpudlian. ‘Next Gen’ said, “We are not going to any of that, you know, look for the easy way out. If it gets rough, if it gets hairy, we’re there for the long haul.”
