ECHO exclusive as Liam Smith chats to Connor O'Neill about his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr, being a world champion, Sunday league football and for life after fighting
Only this time, he should know what is required to win. After all, he’s done it before, and in some style, too.
However, it looked for a long time like this rematch was not going to happen. Smith was forced to postpone the original date due to an injury, with Eubank Jr then opening talks with Conor Benn over a showdown. "He fights Conor Benn in probably an easier fight for himself, earning more money, so I feel he did want to fight Conor next, but that wasn’t available, so he had to take the rematch."
"Me and Joseph were in the same amateur gym. So I have been around them my whole life, so they know me as good as anybody. "I would bite your hand off to challenge again and be a two-time world champion, but I just want to be in big fights that get me off the couch.
