Chris Eubank Jr. posted a video on social networks in which he sparred in a Christmas hat, preparing for a fight with Liam Smith January 21 in Manchester. The event will be shown in the UK via pay-per-view.
Eubank, 33, was scheduled to cross gloves with Conor Benn in October. The fight was canceled after it was revealed that Benn had recently tested positive twice for doping.
Smith, who was a welterweight world champion last year, has two fights this year. He last fought in September, defeating Hassan Mwakinho by TKO.
