Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith will renew their rivalry when they clash in a middleweight showdown this weekend.

The two British fighters met in the ring just seven months ago with Smith coming out on top with a fourth round stoppage.

While there is no belt on the line, both men will be hoping a win can catapult them back into the world title scene.
