Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Williams live: Fight stream, latest updates and result tonight
Re-live the action and see the results from a stacked card at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena
Chris Eubank Jr knocked down Liam Williams three times in the opening four rounds before going on to secure a unanimous points win in their grudge middleweight contest at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff.
The fight had been rescheduled twice, because of an injury to Williams and then coronavirus restrictions. There were plenty of words exchanged in the build-up, with Williams having to be spoken to by the British Boxing Board of Control after claiming he wanted to “kill” Eubank in one of his pre-fight interviews.
Eubank, who had suffered only two defeats in his 33-fight career, was cheered as he made his ring walk but soon silenced the raucous home crowd when he put Williams down during the opening round. Williams was sent to the canvas again during the second by a left hook from Eubank. The fight appeared set for an early finish after another knockdown for the 29-year-old Welshman in the next.
However, spurred on by the Cardiff support, Williams rallied in the sixth, with the referee having to keep the men apart as the contest drifted somewhat in the latter stages after such a fast start.
Eubank, 32, produced another telling blow in the 11th round to knock Williams down again to hammer home his domination on the judges’ scorecards, which read 116-109, 116-108 and 117-109 in his favour.
