Eubank Jr v Smith preview and betting tips

This is a massive fight in the careers of Eubank and Smith. Junior is a former world champion and has campaigned at super-middleweight, which should make all the difference. He's taller, has a longer reach and is heavier than his opponent, which will tell as this bout enters the middle to later rounds.

Eubank is currently without a title and hopes to get back to the top of the division this year. There are some big-money bouts out there, but Junior knows he must win and impress against Smith to earn another crack at a major title. The 33-year-old enters with a near-70 per cent knockout average and has stopped two of his last four opponents.
