Welsh boxing star Liam Williams says he is looking forward to “shutting up” Chris Eubank Jr when the pair battle it out in Cardiff next month.
Eubank (31-2, 23 KO’s) and Williams (23-3, 18 KO’s) both lay claim to being the number one middleweight in the UK and have traded verbal jabs numerous times in recent years.
Now Eubank is taking the fight to Williams’ doorstep as he heads to the Motorpoint Arena to face the Welshman from Clydach Vale.
With both fighters known for having all-action styles and a proven pedigree for finishing fights inside the distance, their December 11th meeting promises to be one of the most electrifying British boxing contests of the year in a fiery England-Wales showdown.
Williams is thrilled that the fight is finally made and is looking to get back into the world title mix with a victory.
“I’m very excited to get the fight made,” explained Williams, who is a British and Commonwealth champion.
“I can’t wait to shut his mouth once and for all.
“There’s nothing like a big domestic showdown to get the juices flowing.
“A lot of people have been calling for this fight for a long time.

“I personally think it’s the biggest all-British fight outside of AJ and Fury.
“I’m really excited and just counting down the days.
“I’ve not been that impressed with Chris’ recent performances.
“People are talking about how he’s brought Roy Jones in to improve him but if I’m being totally honest I don’t think he’s improved one bit.
“A win in this fight and possibly even a stoppage over Eubank and my name is going to be well and truly out there and in the mix for world titles again.”
