CHRIS EUBANK JR will face rival Liam Williams in Cardiff, as boxing makes its big return tonight.
British Boxing Board of Control had to suspend boxing in the UK for a month to allow doctors to prioritize their work with NHS during the coronavirus pandemic. It's back now with a massive show in Cardiff.
Eubank Jr. and Williams were originally scheduled to fight in December before Williams sustained an injury that forced it to be postponed.
The meeting was set for January, but it was delayed again by the BBBofC. They finally met.
Eubank Jr., 32, has called his opponent a "keyboard warrior", ahead of Saturday's grudge match.
He stated, "It's true for me. Is it true for him? He had much to say about social media in the past two years, which he was unable to express when I stood before him at the press conference.
"Maybe he's not real, maybe fake. He is just like the rest of us keyboard warriors. He's a prolific writer, but when it comes time to speak, he stops talking to the man he was supposed to be speaking to.
