If you’re looking to see some action in the boxing world, there’s a fight tonight. We’ve got an interesting range of fights to choose from. Check out the full schedule below, and find out who will be taking on whom.
Chris Eubank Jr. vs Liam Smith
A fight between two of Britain’s best middleweights is set to take place tonight at the AO Arena in Liverpool. Liam Smith will be challenging Chris Eubank Jr for the WBO Intercontinental title.
The two fighters have been engaged in an ongoing battle since their last encounter, which was a defeat for Smith in the US. They will finally settle their differences tonight.
As with most rivals, there were many fireworks in the build-up to this matchup. One of the biggest came when Smith landed a right hand on Eubank that knocked him down twice.
In the final press conference, Smith was criticized for making crass comments about Eubank. Some commentators thought he had gone overboard by bragging that he could win the fight by a margin of 50%.
For instance, he wore a rainbow armband. This is actually a symbol of tolerance.
The other big gimmick was the right hand. While there are many fighters with the ability to do that, there are not many who do it as well as Smith.
On the surface, the right hand is a small miracle. But there are other things in this battle that are worth noting.
Among these is the fact that both fighters have never been knocked out in a pro bout.
David Haye vs Joe Fournier
David Haye and Joe Fournier have been compared a number of times. The former world champion and the wealthy London businessman are each rated 7/1 to win, with the draw available at 16/1.
Both boxers have been inactive for over three years, so this could be a surprise comeback. But if David Haye can beat Fournier, he will put himself back in the mix for a shot at Tyson Fury. He also has a few weeks of training under his belt.
The fight is an eight-round affair and should be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It’s part of the upcoming Triller Fight Club Legends 2 event, which features several combat sports legends. Among the big names in attendance are Evander Holyfield, Vitor Belfort, Tito Ortiz and Anderson Silva.
Fournier has been undefeated as a professional boxer. As of the date of this article, his net worth is estimated at over $1 billion.
Despite his status as a multi-millionaire, Fournier is still a relative spring chicken at age 38. This means he’ll need a huge knockout to defeat Haye.
Thankfully, this should not be a hard fight to pull off. However, it’s still important to make sure the fight looks real.
Mickey Rourke vs Elliot Seymour
It’s been 18 months since Elliot Seymour lost his fight with Mickey Rourke. Now he’s in a very bad position. pakyok was homeless and didn’t have a job. His family has a restraining order against him.
In the past, Seymour was a professional boxer with a record of 1-9. He started training ten years ago, but his career was ruined when he fell out with his family.
After falling out with his family, he ended up living on the streets. Currently, he’s been working out in a gym.
When Rourke and Seymour fought in Moscow last month, many people were surprised to see the two men get into the ring. But some have been suspicious of the situation.
Some boxing fans have accused Rourke of match fixing. Others have suggested that Seymour was simply trying to get publicity and make extra money. And Rourke’s trainer is insisting the fight was fair.
However, there’s still a lot of confusion over what actually happened. The promoters of the fight have yet to tell the real story. They’ve declined to disclose how much they paid the boxer.
A friend of Seymour’s has said that the bout was fake. He claims that Seymour was offered $15,000 to lose the fight.

Although Beterbiev has been undefeated in his professional career, he has been knocked out once in his past. It was against Callum Johnson in 2016. He’s got a good combination of shots and has great boxing instincts, but he’s not a great defender.
On the other hand, Yarde has been able to withstand a few punches. His last opponent was Sergey Kovalev, who knocked him out in the 11th round. The 31-year-old has also won five of his last six fights. That puts him at a very comfortable weight.
