They said it!
Eubank Jr. said "I'm on my way to world titles, and cleaning up middleweight division. Are there rematch clauses? Business is business.
"I will look down at him and raise my fists.
"We have all the styles necessary to make this an epic battle. We will see who has more speed, chin, tactics, or footwork.
"I don’t try to deceive. It will be proved. He isn't strong enough to take the punishment he is about to receive.
"I've done it to men that are twice or three times as tough and as strong as me."
Williams stated, "I have a better skill-set. I punch harder. Although he is mentally strong and can take a good shot, his legs are robotic. He can move like he has wood legs.
"Chris will always return to his old style, even when it gets hard."
"Chris has a clause that allows him to rematch this fight, so he clearly doubts his abilities."
