Wayne Alexander (Former European super-welterweight champion) I expect them to put on a good and exciting fight because both have aggressive, big-punching styles.

THERE was a moment during the build-up to Chris Eubank Jnr’s fourth-round stoppage loss against Liam Smith when an all-too-familiar feeling, one I had last experienced before the previous fight Eubank Jnr had scheduled, washed over me. It was, to put it mildly, a feeling of ickiness; the feeling of being in the wrong place … Read more
