Chris Eubank Jr is adamant Liam Smith is 'rattled' ahead of their middleweight showdown next weekend.
Eubank and Smith's hotly anticipated fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester next Saturday and the war of words between the two has continued.
Smith has long denied that Eubank is getting under his skin, but the 33-year-old claims he has direct messages from social media that suggest otherwise.

He said: "I've said a lot to him in the build up to this fight. I'm in his head. He even slid into my DMs a few days ago, messaging me on Instagram.
"So I know I've rattled him. I just look forward to finishing off the job on the 21st. I actually can't repeat a lot of the language that he used in those DMs.
“But he is not a happy bunny, let's just put it that way. I think that his frustration and his anger is going to play into how the fight is going to unfold. And it's not going to play to his advantage, I know that.
"I sent him back a couple of little zingers. You've got to. Who knows, maybe on fight week I'll screenshot it and post it.”
And although Smith is a former WBO super-welterweight champion, Eubank believes he will have too much for the former Archbishop Beck pupil.
"I think that there are levels to the sport, there are levels to the game, I think my highest level is going to be too much for him," he said.
"I respect him. He's done a lot in the sport of boxing over many years, as have I. But I feel like at this moment in time we're two separate animals and it's going to be too much for him on the night when that bell goes.”
