But it’s been announced the pair’s Cardiff clash will now take place a week later.

Eubank Jr and Williams were due to trade heavy leather last December but the bout was postponed after the latter aggravated a shoulder injury.

And their second date fell through after the British Board of Boxing Control decided to suspend action for a month due to the surge in Omicron case.

A statement at the time read: “Following advice from the British Boxing Board of Control Medical Panel, Boxing tournaments under the jurisdiction of the BBBofC will be suspended for the month of January.

“A further review by the Medical Panel and Stewards will take place prior to the planned recommencement of Boxing in February.”
