Chris Eubank Jr is now working with Brian McIntyre
Brighton boxer Chris Eubank Jr is preparing for his rematch with Liverpool's Liam Smith on September 2 at the AO Arena in Manchester with his new trainer Brian McIntyre.
The 33-year-old Brit has never been short of confidence, but working with renowned American, who is also Terence Crawford’s trainer, has heightened his self-belief even further.
"They have worked with Terence Crawford for many years and the results speak for themselves," he told Sky Sports.
"Crawford is one of the pound-for-pound greats at the moment and that gives me a lot of encouragement and a lot of confidence in the team that I have around me.
"What they are doing or what they have done, it's been tried, tested and proven at the highest levels."
Eubank Jr has dismissed Liam Smith's claims that his new training set-up won't make a difference going into their rematch.
Eubank will return to the AO Arena in Manchester to box Smith once again on September 2, live on Sky Sports Box Office. He lost to Smith in a stunning four-round defeat in January and ahead of the second fight has linked up with a new coach in McIntyre, who is nicknamed "BoMac".
His middleweight rival is unimpressed, suggesting that Eubank is too "egotistical" to listen to his trainer.
