“The rematch, I think Conor Benn. I probably fancy Conor a little bit more because of what I think about Chris Eubank Jr. I think he’s only one or two fights away from being done. 

“We’re going to get along the lines: the same fight as last time. Whether it’s as good or as competitive as last time. I think we’re gonna get the same type of fight.”

Smith was also asked if he believed Benn had the technical ability to get the job done:

“I don’t think Chris Eubank is as technically good and technically correct at countering Conor Benn’s mistakes and exploit Conor Benn’s mistakes.”
