Via Jim Calfa: Liam ‘Beefy’ Smith says Chris Eubank Jr is failing in his attempt to intimidate him ahead of their battle next Saturday night on DAZN on January 21 at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Today, former WBO junior middleweight champion Smith (32-3-1, 19 KOs) revealed that Eubank Jr contacted him via DM and sent him a video trying to get him out of the match. fight, but he insists that doesn’t work. .
‘Beefy’ Smith is still the same unshakable determination for the win he had when the under-achieving 33-year-old Eubank Jr was first signed.
Smith plans to send Eubank Jr, son of famous former two-division world champion Chris Eubank, to receive his third defeat in his 12-year professional career.
Eubank Jr can’t take another loss at his age as it would end his dream of fighting the 40-year-old IBF/WBA middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin, Jermall Charlo & Canelo Alvarez.
Those wars will be forever out of reach for Eubank Jr, who is still limping on with his disappointing career. Eubank Jr did not live up to the high standards that his famous father Eubank had set during his 13-year professional career.
That means, Eubank Jr has yet to win his first world title and he is moving on at 33. Sorry, this writer did not count the IBO super middleweight belt that Eubank Jr won. in 2017 ago Renold Quinlan as a world-class belt.
“It’s hard to go on DM when he says ‘do you want it medium, or bloody?’
“He knew he couldn’t understand my thoughts. He knows he can’t threaten me in that way. Whichever way you want to tackle this problem, I’ll take it on with you, Chris. Let’s see what happens on Saturday.”
Liam Smith said: “I was a little nervous about showing him. Twitter about Chris Eubank Jr.’s attempts to intimidate him.
