The 33-year-old got his long-awaited revenge

Chris Eubank Jr. was triumphant in his rematch against Liam Smith after stellar performance, which saw the 33-year-old knock down his opponent twice.

Eubank delivered his first severe blow in the 4th round, exactly the time he was knocked down by Smith in their first match.

The 33-year-old was the dominant force all along and he gave his opponent very little breathing space.

Round 10 was the last drop for Smith, who fell to the ground again, forcing the referee to stop the match.

“What happened tonight was supposed to happen in January,” Eubank said. “I trained hard, the focus is always there and I dedicate my life to this sport.”

Meanwhile, Smith acknowledged his opponent’s superiority in the game and admitted he hasn’t been in best of forms lately.

“Chris was the better man tonight,” Smith said. “Chris knows how I was with the weight and after the injury, I came down three stone.

“I was flat as they come from the get go. I couldn’t move my feet and Chris was sharp.”
