Two British Middleweight rivals fight in Manchester in a boxing bout that is likely to decide the career trajectory of the winner. Former IBO Super Middleweight and son of boxing legend Chris Eubank Snr., Chris Eubank Jr will face former  WBO and Commonwealth Light-Middleweight champion, Liam Smith. The fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK, this weekend. The rivals kicked off the pre-fight shenanigans with accusations of cheating at the weigh-in. Already the homophobic nature of the spat has led to Sky Sports removing the content from YouTube.
