Boxing is a sport that likes a grudge match and the upcoming bout between Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Williams has been no different
Bitter spats between the boxers give the match that little extra edge ahead of the two fighters going head to head in peak physical condition.
There is no love lost between the pair and they’ve exchanged some choice words ahead of the big match, which takes place on Saturday February 4.
As reported by the BBC, Williams said: “I am so, so excited to put an end to this guy. Drop him down a few levels and maybe he’ll realise his level after this fight.”
Eubank Jr, 32, remained calm in the face of the jibes and said that it is “styles” that win fights.
The son of the champion boxer said: “Styles make fights and I believe me and him have the styles to make an exciting fight, epic even.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove the doubters, the haters and the naysayers wrong, as usual.”
Here is everything we know about the coverage and build-up to this fiery boxing bout.

Eubank Jr is known to have a rematch clause, which caused further mockery from Williams
“Chris has a rematch clause for this fight. He obviously doubts his ability a bit and thinks I can beat him,” he said on February 3.
“If I was going to fight someone I thought [I] was going to blow out of the water, why the hell would I want a rematch clause? Depending how badly I beat him, he might want to take the rematch clause.”
The pair are two of the more obvious contenders to challenge for the middleweight titles in the future.
Williams’ record is 23 wins, one draw and three losses. Eubank Jr, meanwhile, has 31 wins and two losses.
