😱HUGE UPSET! Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith I | Full Fight | Sky Sports Box Office | 21/1/2023
Chris Eubank Jr 32–2 (23 KOs) vs Liam Smith 32–3–1 (19 KOs), billed as Unleashed, was a professional boxing match contested on 21 January 2023.
Prior to the fight with Benn being announced, a fight between Eubank and Smith was first discussed by Ben Shalom in June 2022. Shalom believed Eubank should be challenging for world titles. Eubank had one fight left on his contract with Boxxer and Sky Sports. On 1 July 2022, the opportunity to proceed with the fight became more feasible following Smith’s signing of a multi-fight agreement with Boxxer and Sky Sports. Following the cancellation of Eubank’s bout with Benn, Shalom announced that Smith would be positioned to face Eubank next. Additionally, Smith’s potential opponents included Kell Brook, who was in the spotlight for another potential match after his victory over rival Amir Khan in February 2022, as well as the possibility of a world title fight. In November, negotiations began, targeting a fight for December.
On 24 November, the fight was made official to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester on 21 January 2023, with the event being broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office in UK and DAZN in the United States. The highly anticipated fight was to be promoted by Boxxer, in partnership with Wasserman Boxing. Smith (32-3-1, 19 KOs) was entering the contest in outstanding form, having secured victories against notable opponents such as Jesse Vargas, Anthony Fowler, and Roberto Garcia. Eubank (32-2-0, 23 KOs) was enthusiastic about returning to the ring after his planned bout with Benn was postponed in October 2022.
His last fight took place in February 2022, where he delivered a commanding performance against Liam Williams, winning by unanimous decision in Cardiff. Eubank entered the bout with a strong sense of confidence, firmly expecting to secure victory within eight rounds. Smith advocated for the weight limit to be set between 158 and 159 pounds.
Aware that his request was unlikely to be accommodated, as it was well documented how Eubank struggled to make 157 pounds against Benn and the fact Smith was a naturally bigger man than Benn. There was a rematch clause in place.
Smith was confident his experience would help him beat Eubank. He also expressed interest in a potential rematch in the future, as well as the option of moving back down in weight class.
In the lead-up to the fight, Chris Eubank made headlines by claiming he only needed to perform at 50% capacity to secure a victory against Smith. Smith dismissed Eubank’s remarks stating, “Chris is bang average but a good, fit athlete. If you need to be 50 percent… if he needs to be 50 percent to beat me, I may as well not show up.” Eubank also noted that he had only sparred for eight rounds, reasoning that he anticipated the match wouldn’t extend beyond that.
Tensions soared at the final press conference as the two boxers exchanged barbs. The confrontation escalated when Smith made a pointed remark, accusing Eubank of rarely being seen in the company of women, asking him, “Do you want to tell us something?” Eubank responded: “Listen, my private life is my private life,” Eubank Jr replied. “That’s irrelevant to the boxing, but I’m happy, I’m comfortable.” After a brief period, broadcaster Andy Scott attempted to guide the conversation in a new direction. His attempt failed when Eubank accused Smith of cheating on his wife. He said, “If you want to get dark and personal with it, talking about being gay and do I like girls? I’ve been told by multiple sources that you cheat on your wife on occasion. “I’d rather be gay than a cheat.”
Following the press conference, both boxers issued apologies for their remarks. Sky Sports also expressed regret, labelling the comments as homophobic. Reports indicated that the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) may pursue misconduct charges against Smith in light of his statements.
On 17 April 2023, the BBBofC ruled both individuals guilty of misconduct and imposed undisclosed fines on them.
Both boxers weighed the same 159 pounds. Eubank further taunted Smith by wearing a Manchester United jersey (Liverpool’s rivals) and wore a rainbow armband. Overall, there was little drama to add at the weigh in following the final press conference.[19][20] Eubank was a 3-1 favorite over Smith.

The build-up to the Teofimo Lopez (18-1) vs. Josh Taylor (19–0) WBO junior welterweight title showdown was defined by intense personal animosity, mental health scrutiny, and fierce stylistic debates.
The pre-fight promotion took a dark and highly controversial turn due to the hostile rhetoric between both fighters.
In the lead-up, Teofimo Lopez made highly criticized, irresponsible comments stating that he wanted to literally “take Josh Taylor’s life” inside the ring.
The reigning champion, Josh Taylor, completely dismissed Lopez’s mental state, frequently labeling the American a “clown” and promising to make him pay for his words with “spite in his punches”.
Lopez entered the build-up as a significant underdog. After losing his lightweight titles to George Kambosos Jr. and delivering a few shaky performances at 140 lbs, many analysts openly questioned if he still possessed his “Takeover” spirit or the mental fortitude to defeat an elite champion.
Taylor was returning from a grueling 15-month layoff following his highly controversial split-decision victory over Jack Catterall. The build-up heavily focused on whether “The Tartan Tornado” had deteriorated or if the long break had cured his previous injuries.
The bout took place on 10th June 2023 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

🥊 David Haye vs Jean-Marc Mormeck | WBA/WBC/RING Cruiserweight Titles | FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS
Jean-Marc Mormeck 33–3 (22 KO) vs. David Haye 19–1 (18 KO), billed as Le Duel, was a professional boxing match contested on 10 November 2007, for the WBA, WBC and The Ring cruiserweight championship.
After regaining the WBA, WBC, The Ring and lineal cruiserweight titles in his March 2007 rematch with O’Neil Bell, Jean-Marc Mormeck agreed to face European cruiserweight champion David Haye, overruling his promoter Don King who had wanted him to face Steve Cunningham (whom he also promoted). “King wanted me to meet him,” Mormeck said about Cunningham “He doesn’t give a toss whether I win or lose. He’d win which ever way it went. King has got money and he always wants more. He’s used to having people at his feet begging him, but I don’t do any of that.”
Haye was returning to cruiserweight having made his heavyweight debut in April against Tomasz Bonin, after his stoppage victory Haye called out Mormeck saying “I would be mad not to take that fight and knock him out. I want that title.”
The bout was originally set for 28 September, but it was pushed back to 10 November to avoid a clash with the Rugby World Cup.
WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli, was part of the Setanta broadcast team for the fight, as there was plans to match him against the winner, with his promoter Frank Warren saying “If Mormeck wins, it’s definitely a fight that can be made. But if Haye wins, it’s a bit more problematic because he’s turned down big money to fight Enzo once before. I hope Haye wins because there would be no excuse for him not to fight Enzo in February or March. That would be a huge match-up for British fans.”

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Zab Judah, billed as Sworn Enemies, was a boxing match for the IBF welterweight title which took place on April 8, 2006 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada between IBF welterweight champion Zab Judah and undefeated three-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
With the loss to Carlos Manuel Baldomir, it appeared that Judah’s much anticipated bout with Mayweather was off, but Judah’s promoter Don King and Mayweather’s promoter Bob Arum reworked the deals so the fight would go on. Mayweather was scheduled to earn a minimum $6 million while Judah was to earn $3 million plus a percentage of the profits, but because of Judah’s loss, Mayweather earned a minimum $5 million while Judah was guaranteed $1 million plus a percentage of profits above $7 million.
The fight took place on April 8, 2006, at the Thomas and Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada.
