Eubank Jr fought twice in 2021, seeing off Marcus Morrison and Wanik Awdijan when he wants to build towards Gennady Golovkin and a world title.

Williams meanwhile had a chance to win the WBO middleweight crown in the summer, but fell by mistake unanimously decided against Demetrius Andrade.

What did they say

Eubank Jr said: “I’m on my way to world titles and middleweight cleanup.

“I would stand over him, look down and raise my fist.

“We have the styles to make this an epic battle. We’ll see who has the better chin, speed, strategy and footwork.

“I am not trying to deceive. It will be proven. He does not have enough chin to endure the punishment that is coming to him.

“I know what I’ve done to people who are two or three times as tough as him.”

Williams said: “I’ve got a better skill set. I punch harder. He’s mentally tough and shoots well but his legs are like robots. He moves like he has wooden legs.

“Chris, once things get tough, will come back [to his old style].

“Chris has a rematch clause for this match so he clearly doubts his ability.”
