A 'low-life' versus a 'clown' - Williams v Eubank Jr is a true grudge match

British boxing returns for the first time this year on Saturday night in Cardiff with a genuine grudge match topping the bill.

Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Williams are set for a clash that British fans have been calling for as their mutual hostility adds extra intrigue to a fight that will likely see the victor challenge for a middleweight world title in 2022.

Williams of course disagrees.

«I don't think Chris is known for having a good chin and once the going gets tough, you will see that. I'm very excited. I am going to come through on
