The all-British battle between middleweight boxing rivals Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Williams will be held on 5 February 2022 at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff in Wales. Originally scheduled for December, the bout was rearranged after Williams suffered a recurrence of a shoulder injury.
Eubank (31-2, 23 KOs) and Williams (23-3, 18 KOs) both lay claim to being the #1 middleweight in the UK and have “traded verbal jabs numerous times in recent years”, said event organisers BOXXER. With both fighters known for having all-action styles and a proven pedigree for finishing fights inside the distance, their 29 January meeting “promises to be one of the most electrifying British boxing contests of the year in a fiery England-Wales showdown”.
The card will also feature American two-time Olympic gold medallist Claressa Shields, who will defend her WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring World middleweight championships against Slovenian undefeated WBF world middleweight champion Ema Kozin.
Limited tickets are still available via Ticketmaster UK.
