Liam Smith wants a blow in retaliation against Chris Eubank JR and is watching a trilogy war between the party has to plan Saturday night.
Smith suffered a loss of the 10th round ban against an Eubank JR greatly improved in their September 2023 match after overthrowing his British rival in high fashion eight months ago.
The 36-year-old had been to return to the ring against Josh Kelly last September before he was withdrawn from the war due to the illness.
Now he is scheduled to face Aaron McKenna in the Eubank JR confrontation under the conjunction against Conor Benn in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend.
“I think there is probably a number of reasons I am on this card,” Smith said Heavenly sports.
“I don’t think Chris loved me on this card, but I am in it, maybe if one of the fighters with the main event was injured, I was probably the best name to raise and get inside.
“We know with Riyadh season, she just wants really good fights and dance partners. If I win and the main event is a little one -sided and there is no match, then I’m an option for the winner.
“I think there are some reasons I’m on the card.”
Smith was significantly far from his best during his second meeting with Eubank JR, but would later make no excuses for his night performance or preparations that had been damaged by an injury obstacle.
He remains driven by loss and is seeking the opportunity to set things as he continues to minimize the questions he has left in the final years of his career.
