Liam Smith vs. Chris Eubank Jr. PPV Cost: Current Betting Odds
Ahead of Liam Smith vs. Chris Eubank Jr., the betting odds are tight.
For their first meeting earlier this year, 'Next Gen' was a heavy favorite. For the first three rounds, it looked like the odds were correct, as he was easily outboxing 'Beefy'. However, in boxing, it only ever takes one.
