Former WBO middleweight contender Williams (23-3-1) has branded his opponent a disgrace to the Eubank name, while former IBO super-middleweight champ Eubank Jr. (31-2) has called his opponent a keyboard warrior and a disgrace to the sport.
It's all got very tasty, and the stakes have been raised higher by the prospect of a world title fight for the victor, potentially against IBF and IBO middleweight belt holder Gennady Golovkin.
Eubank Jr. and Williams are widely recognised as the two top British fighters in a burgeoning middleweight division, and while the brawler from Brighton is the favourite, the man they call The Machine is renowned for his aggressive style, and will be doubly determined to put on a show in his home city.
There's also the small matter of WBA, WBC and IBF middleweight champ Claressa Shields' title defence against undefeated Ema Kozin on the cards. It's a huge night of boxing, so follow our guide below to watch a Eubank Jr. vs Williams live stream online from anywhere.

Who is Chris Eubank Jr.?
The son of a boxing legend, Chris Eubank Jr. made his professional debut in 2011, but the formative years of his career played out under the shadow of his father.
His biggest fight, against Billy Joe Saunders in 2014, was a close-fought thriller that ended in defeat and set the two boxers on very different paths. Though Eubank Jr. ended the fight on top, he lost by split decision.
His next major showdown came nearly four years later against George Groves, who won by unanimous decision and took the IBO super-middleweight title that Eubank Jr. had won the previous year, by beating Renold Quinlan.
The 32-year-old returned to middleweight in 2019 and has spent recent years largely out of the limelight, though he's quietly established himself as one of best in the division.
Who is Liam Williams?
A former roofer, Liam Williams also made his professional bow in 2011.
The Welshman, three years Eubank Jr.'s junior, is a former British and Commonwealth light middleweight and a former British middleweight champion.
More brawler than artist, the 29-year-old's fights are often must-watch displays of blood and guts, and as he demonstrated in his last fight, a defeat against WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade last year, he never knows when he's beaten.
