Liam Smith has not fought since he was stopped by Chris Eubank Jr
Liam Smith has revealed he wants to return to the ring in February after rejecting the chance to feature on a Matchroom show next month. Smith had been due to face Josh Kelly on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s huge heavyweight showdown against Daniel Dubois at Wembley back in September. However, a week before the fight was due to take place, 'Beefy' was forced to pull out due to illness , with Kelly instead facing Ishmael Davis at the home of English football.
“Eddie’s offered me a date January 17th, but, unfortunately, it just doesn’t align. “It’s a little bit of crossed wires. I’m just not going to make January 17th, so fingers crossed I get a date in February.” Kelly would go on to beat Davies on points following 12 rounds of action, but Smith was left less than impressed by what he witnessed from the Sunderland man. The former WBO super-welterweight champion also pulled no punches when addressing remarks made by Kelly’s trainer, Adam Booth.
