Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith undercard in full including Joseph Parker vs Jack Massey

Chris Eubank Jr faces Liam Smith this Saturday in Manchester, with 'Next Gen' hoping that a win can set up a big fight for later in 2023 with Billy Joe Saunders a potential opponent.

Smith, also known as 'Beefy' has stepped up to middleweight and will also be hoping to underline his own credentials as two former world champions meet at the AO Arena. There has been no love lost during the week, with personal comments from both fighters leaving both fighters apologising on Friday.

It is a well matched fight and is part of an exciting card, with former world champions and rising stars featured throughout. Co-main event Richard Riakporhe takes on former world champion Krzysztof Glowacki in a cruiserweight contest which could set up Riakporhe for a world title shot of his own later this year against WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie.
