Chris Eubank Jr is seeking to avenge a TKO loss to Liam Smith this weekend, as the Britons go head to head in Manchester once again.

Smith dropped Eubank Jr twice in January en route to a fourth-round win at the AO Arena, which also hosts the boxers’ middleweight rematch on Saturday.

Smith, 35, upset the betting odds with his victory eight months ago; can he repeat the trick, or will Eubank Jr, 33, get back on track as he aims for one last world-title run?
