DBATTLE OF LIVERPOOL Liam Smith vs Anthony Fowler date: UK start time, undercard, live
stream and how to watch fight in Liverpool
Liam Smith and Anthony Fowler are set to face off in Liverpool this weekend.
Former WBO light–middleweight champion Smith is to take on his fellow Liverpudlian on a
stacked card in the pair’s home city.
Liam Smith and Anthony Fowler go head–to–head in a huge fight on Merseyside.
Smith (29–3–1, 16 KO) is looking to bounce back from a controversial defeat in Russia against
Magomed Kurbanov in May.
Fowler (15–1, 12 KO), meanwhile, has won six in a row since an upset loss by split decision to
Scott Fitzgerald in 2019.
It’s set to be a hard–hitting night on Merseyside when Liam Smith (29–3–1) takes on Anthony
Fowler (15–1) in the ‘Battle of Liverpool’ which sees the north and south side of the city go
head–to–head.
Fowler’s latest outing was at this year’s Fight Camp where he produced an eighth–round
stoppage win against Germany’s Rico Mueller to set–up this clash with Smith.
Fowler has admitted that this upcoming fight is a risk. Smith is an experienced operator who
has held a world title at light–middleweight and has shared the ring with boxing’s pound–forpound
number one Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
However, while a win for Fowler might kickstart his road towards a world title shot, a loss for
Smith could spell the end of his aspirations at the top of the game.
Whoever is victorious will have re–ignited their career, but will also give their respective side of
the city the all–important bragging rights.

What has been said?
Smith: “I’ve never lost to a domestic fighter as a pro. I’ll beat Anthony Fowler; I’ll never lose to a
domestic fighter. That’s a good little record to have.
“I turned pro and I’ve had 30–odd fights and I’ve never lost to a Brit. If I beat Fowler, I’m not
going to fight another domestic fighter again, unless it’s a [Chris] Eubank or someone like that.
“I’m confident that I beat Anthony Fowler every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I turn
up at 100% then I beat Anthony Fowler.
“The way I see the fight going, it’ll be competitive early doors and then experience, cuteness
and everything else will come on. I’ll stop him down the straight.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn: “This is the biggest night of boxing we’ve ever put on in Liverpool. The
biggest Saturday night fight card we’ve put on since I’ve promoted boxing.
“This fight is a fight that quite frankly I hadn’t even thought of a couple of months ago. Liam
Smith went to Russia and was robbed in a fight which should have taken him on to challenge for
a world title.
“Anthony Fowler has improved and improved under the tutelage of Shane McGuigan and wants
all the big challenges.”
“I’m confident that I beat Anthony Fowler every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I turn
up at 100% then I beat Anthony Fowler. The way I see the fight going, it’ll be competitive early
doors and then experience, cuteness and everything else will come on. I’ll stop him down the
straight.
