😱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.

Vitali Klitschko vs. Odlanier Solis was a professional boxing match contested on 19 March 2011, for the WBC heavyweight championship. It took place at Lanxess Arena, Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Odlanier Solis became the mandatory heavyweight challenger for the WBC heavyweight title, after a 10-round DQ win against Ray Austin on 17 December 2010.[3][4][5] The negotiations started out difficult. In the beginning, Odlanier Solis started out by demanding €1.5 million for the fight.[6] On 11 January 2011, it was officially confirmed that the fight between Vitali Klitschko and Odlanier Solis was going to take place in Cologne, Germany on 19 March.[2]
It was reported that Odlanier Solis earned $1.8 million for the fight (which at the time was €1.4 million). Vitali earned $15 million.[7]
The first press conference of the fight was officially held in Cologne and both fighters and managers attended the press conference.[8] At the press conference, neither fighter or promoter etc. spoke English, as there was no need to. Odlanier Solis does not speak English and Vitali Klitschko had no need to as the press conference and fight is in Germany.
There had been some trash talk up to the fight. Odlanier Solis has accused Vitali Klitschko for spreading rumors about him, that he is lazy, because of how he trains. Solis said that he is in perfect shape and ready to defeat Klitschko.
Vitali Klitschko on the other hand said that he will get rid of Solis from the boxing world, after the challenger stated several times that he will defeat Klitschko, end his reign and send him to retirement.
Klitschko had earlier said that he had fought some strong opponents, but never an Olympic gold medalist (which was inaccurate as he faced Lennox Lewis, who was an Olympic Gold Medalist). He also said that he expected a tough and close fight against a young and talented fighter. Solis’ manager Ahmet Öner had also accused Vitali Klitschko for avoiding this fight for a long time.
The second press conference was held on March 14 in Cologne. The press conference was quiet and there were no trash talk at the conference, although they both promised a knockout.
Before the fight, there was also a public work-out held on 16 March at the Mercedes-Benz Center in Cologne.
Ticket sales for the fight started on January 26 on www.eventim.de. The prices for the fight started at €25. The official weigh-in for the fight took place in Cologne, Germany, on 18 March. It took place at Karstadt Sport Breite Straße. The official weight for the two fighters was as follows: Vitali Klitschko weighed in at 249.5 lbs., while Odlanier Solis weighed in at 247 lbs.
The supervisor for the fight was Charles Giles. The commissioner for the fight was the Bund Deutscher Berufsboxer and Tom Loeffler (K2 Promotions) was the promoter.

Davey Moore vs. Roberto Durán was a professional boxing match contested on June 16, 1983, for the WBA super welterweight title.
n January 1983, former welterweight champions Roberto Durán and Pipino Cuevas met in a non-title bout at the LA Sports Arena. Durán dominated the fight and scored a fourth-round knockout victory that put him in line for a title shot against the undefeated reigning WBA super welterweight champion Davey Moore. Despite Durán’s impressive victory, he was still perceived to be on the downside of his career having lost to little-known Kirkland Laing only nine months prior and the 23-year old Moore expressed doubt that the soon-to-be 32-year old Durán would be a match for him, infamously stating “Was that Duran looking so good or Cuevas so bad?”
The fight was originally scheduled to take place on May 27 in Bophuthatswana, South Africa with a Ray Mancini–Kenny Bogner WBA lightweight title fight as the co-main event, but the event was cancelled after Mancini was forced to pull out with a fractured collarbone. Two weeks later, the Moore–Durán fight was rescheduled for June 16 (Durán’s 32nd birthday) at Madison Square Garden in Moore’s native New York City. Durán underwent a rigorous training schedule with his longtime trainer Ray Arcel proclaiming “Right now, he looks better than I’ve seen him in several years” while Durán himself stated “What will beat Moore is not only my experience, but my conditioning. If I had to pick between them, I would say my conditioning.” Durán admitted that a loss to Moore would possibly lead to his retirement saying “If I lose, I’ll probably retire, but I’m not thinking about losing the fight. I’m stronger, more mature, more experienced and I’m training more seriously than at any time in my career.”
Moore had successfully defended his title three times, defeating all three opponents by knockout and was installed as 5–2 favorite by oddsmakers and was confident in his ability to defeat his opponent claiming that Durán was “over the hill but he still has his name and beating him will take me to the big money fights. I don’t expect a very long fight, it might even be over in a round.”
