The former super-middleweight world champion is the latest figure from the sport to speak on the intriguing rematch and he’s very much of the belief that Smith be victorious for a second time. 

Back in January, ‘Beefy’ settled a bad-tempered rivalry when he produced the performance of his career to halt Eubank Jr in four rounds.  

With Eubank Jr entitled to an immediate rematch, the Brighton man has pushed forward with that right, but Froch doesn’t believe the result will be different when the pair square off again. 

“Seeing what I saw in the first fight, I would think that Liam Smith does the job again,” said Froch on his Froch on Fighting show. 

“Liam Smith told us time and time again, not many believed him, that he was gonna do the job. So how can you doubt Liam Smith now in the rematch? 

“You can make a couple of excuses for Eubank. Over trained. Maybe not motivated cause the Conor Benn fight didn’t happen, but he still got in there, Liam Smith, and did the job against Chris Eubank Jr.”
