Boxing fan bets his 'life savings' on Chris Eubank Jr to KO Liam Williams and tells fight favourite in Instagram DM

A BOXING fan claimed he has put his life savings on Chris Eubank Jr to knock out Liam Williams.

Eubank Jr is a 1/3 favourite to beat hometown hero Williams in their Cardiff grudge match.


And one punter appears to be so confident he has lumped all he owns on the middleweight world title hopeful.

In an direct Instagram message to Eubank Jr, a fan wrote: “Chris, I’ve just unloaded my life savings onto you to win by stoppage, don’t let me down.”

He man himself revealed the claim and captioned it: “Now that’s some belief right there.”

Eubank Jr, 32, has been beaten only twice before, against former champions Billy Joe Saunders, 32, and George Groves, 33.

He has called for world title fights this year, against the likes of Gennady Golovkin, 39, and Ryota Murata, 36.

But the man in his way is domestic rival Williams, 29, who talked his way into the grudge match with online insults.

Eubank Jr promised to silence Williams in the most brutal fashion possible.

He told Sky Sports: "We are in his back garden. But we are feeling strong and fit. I am very motivated.

"I am a stand-up guy and a standard-bearer for the sport, someone that kids can look up to and say: 'I want to be like him'.

"Their parents want them to be like me. Williams is a bad representative of the sport. The way he talks, the way he holds himself.

"He needs to be pushed out of boxing. He's in for a serious and rude awakening.

"Anywhere the fight goes, he'll be out of his depth. A fight, a boxing match, chess, a punch-up. I'll be on him all night until he quits.

"I don't see this fight going 12 rounds. My objective is to punish him until he gets knocked out or he quits."
