CHRIS EUBANK JR faces rival Liam Williams in Cardiff as boxing makes its BIG return this tonight.
The British Boxing Board of Control suspended boxing in the UK all January to allow medics to prioritise their work with the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic. And now it’s back with a huge show in Cardiff.

Eubank Jr and Williams were set to fight in December, before an injury to Williams forced its postponement.
It was then set for late January before suffering a second postponement after the BBBofC’s ruling. Now they finally meet.
Eubank Jr, 32, has branded his opponent as a “keyboard warrior” ahead of the grudge match on Saturday.
He said: “It’s real for me. Is it real for him? He had a lot to say on social media over the last couple of years that he wasn’t able to articulate when I stood in front of him at the press conference.
“Maybe he isn’t real, maybe he is fake. He is a keyboard warrior, just like all the other guys. He has a lot to say with his thumbs, but when the time comes and he’s in front of the man he’s supposed to say it to, he backs down and I don’t respect that.”
