'Chris Eubank Jr is at his fighting peak but clash against Liam Williams is a must-win'

Most of Chris Eubank Jr's fights in the last three or four years have been must-win.

Against Liam Williams in Cardiff on Saturday, in front of 8,000 people, it's probably the most must-win of all of his must-win fights.

Although it will not be an easy night's work and almost a 50-50 encounter, I fancy Eubank Jr to be victorious. At 32, he's relatively young, not marked up, worn or weary and one of the leading middleweights in the world.

At the start of his career in 2011, he was criticised for struggling to creep out from underneath his dad's shadow. Then five years ago it changed and critics would say he hasn't achieved what he said he would.

Well, you cannot have it both ways. He's either a good fighter
