There were rumors that the former 160- and 168-pound titleholders would fight again, but nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p id=\"hK1paV\">Regarding Saturday&#8217;s match between Eubank and Smith, Shalom dismissed Roy Jones Jr.&#8217;s allegations, with Smith more concerned that last year&#8217;s bout with Connor Benn was scrapped rather than a real challenge for Eubank. rice field.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"4r9tp0\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"n5gquS\">&#8220;Smith is a much better boxer than Connor Benn and probably a much better boxer than Eubank Jr.,&#8221; Shalom said.  &#8220;He&#8217;s a former world champion. Smith has accomplished a lot more in his career than Eubank Jr., but Conor is a tougher fight than his Ben.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"p5gFSO\">At the moment, the DraftKings Sportsbook has Eubank favorite at -290 and Smith the underdog at +225.<\/p>\n<p id=\"e2vRs0\">Shalom also took part in the Misfits Boxing frenzy that saw another successful event at London&#8217;s OVO Wembley Arena last weekend.<\/p>\n<p id=\"hgYEVH\">&#8220;Calling the Misfits card &#8216;boxing&#8217; is dangerous. This is entertainment and celebrity white collar, but please don&#8217;t call it boxing because it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s confusing, misleading, and just a weird show,&#8221; he commented.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"Lc9Sl4\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"VVXqyc\">\u201cI have nothing against it. When I was playing, there were sold out arenas and people were coming to see them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OwKGw2\">&#8220;It&#8217;s not boxing, so I think it&#8217;s a little weird that the boxing media picks it up. I have nothing against these guys, but frankly, it&#8217;s celebrity white collar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiiwFodHRwczovL3d3dy5iYWRsZWZ0aG9vay5jb20vMjAyMy8xLzE5LzIzNTYyNjEzL2Jlbi1zaGFsb20tbWlzZml0cy1mcmVhay1zaG93LWxpYW0tc21pdGgtcHJvYmFibHktYmV0dGVyLWJveGVyLWNocmlzLWV1YmFuay1ib3hpbmctbmV3cy0yMDIz0gGYAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJhZGxlZnRob29rLmNvbS9wbGF0Zm9ybS9hbXAvMjAyMy8xLzE5LzIzNTYyNjEzL2Jlbi1zaGFsb20tbWlzZml0cy1mcmVhay1zaG93LWxpYW0tc21pdGgtcHJvYmFibHktYmV0dGVyLWJveGVyLWNocmlzLWV1YmFuay1ib3hpbmctbmV3cy0yMDIz?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Boxer promoter Ben Shalom has spoken out about this Saturday&#8217;s Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith fight, the fight he&#8217;d like to see in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boxing-mma-combat-sports","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1457724233.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
