What has been said?
“I think the thing that mostly needs to change is the mindset,” Eubank Jr told Seconds Out.
“Maybe I did underestimate him a little bit, maybe I did get a little bit too complacent at times, but I feel like the strategy was working. It just wasn’t meant to be on that particular night.”
“It’s just an old injury niggle flaring up but I want to take the time to let it heal up so that I can enter the ring at 100 per cent on fight night,” Smith said.
“Because a 100 per cent Liam Smith beats Chris Eubank Jr every day of the week and twice on Sunday.”
