Workwear Express Announced as Main Sponsor for Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr. Rematch at AO Arena
As boxing fans across the globe anxiously await the explosive rematch between Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr., we are excited to announce that Workwear Express will serve as the main sponsor for this highly anticipated bout. Scheduled to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester this Saturday, September 2nd, the event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office.
A Sizzling Rematch
This fight is a rematch following Smith's jaw-dropping win over Eubank Jr. in January. Smith had to take some time off to recover from a minor injury, which led to the postponement of the event. Now, fully healed and more than ready, Smith aims to repeat history and further solidify his status in the boxing world.
Meet the Fighters
Liam Smith: Known as "Beefy," Liam Smith hails from Liverpool and boasts a formidable professional record of 33-3-1 (20 KOs). At 35, the former WBO super-welterweight world champion is no stranger to high-stakes fights, having faced off against renowned boxers like Canelo Alvarez, Jaime Munguia, and Jesse Vargas in various high-profile venues.
Chris Eubank Jr: The 33-year-old from Brighton, son of British boxing legend Chris Eubank, has a professional record of 32-3 (23 KOs). His career includes a tough loss to Billy Joe Saunders and an unsuccessful challenge against George Groves for the WBA title in 2018. This time, under new mentorship from Brian "BoMac" McIntyre, Eubank Jr. is eager to avenge his previous defeat.
Why this Fight Matters
This fight isn't just a rematch; it's a battle for redemption, pride, and legacy. Eubank Jr., stung by his earlier defeat, has made significant changes, including a new trainer. Smith, on the other hand, aims to prove that his initial victory was no fluke. The stakes couldn't be higher, and both fighters are hungry for a win.
The Undercard
Fans can expect a thrilling undercard that features bouts like super-lightweight Adam Azim against Aram Fanyan, and a domestic heavyweight clash between Olympic bronze medallist Frazer Clarke and David Allen. Also featuring are British super-middleweight champion Mark Heffron, former unified super-featherweight champion Mikaela Mayer, and Olympic gold medallist Lauren Price, among others.
How to Watch
Sky Sports Box Office will broadcast the event live, starting at 6 pm. Fans can secure their pay-per-view tickets for just £19.95.
