Liam Williams forced to withdraw from Chris Eubank Jr. clash
Bitter rivals Liam Williams and Chris Eubank Jr. were set to lock horns on December 11 in Cardiff but an unfortunate injury to the Welshman means he will no longer be able to compete on that date.
The world title contender picked up an injury in training just days after coming face to face with his nemesis for the first time since the fight was announced.
Promoter Kalle Sauerland had labeled the forthcoming fight as the biggest domestic fight of the year and fans were excited at the prospect of these two middleweight marauders meeting in the ring. It's a cruel blow for the fans but the fight is expected to be rearranged in 2022 instead.
As the December date is only a couple of weeks away, it's unlikely that the Brighton boxer will get a different opponent on the night, but the card is expected to go ahead still with history-making American Claressa Shields due to appear in her UK debut against unbeaten Ema Kozin.
Londoner Samuel Antwi defends his English title to undefeated Conah Walker on the undercard, and the brilliant Bradley Rea is back in action just two months after his bloody battle with Jez Smith, looking to finish the year at 12-0.
