Chris Eubank Jr is no stranger to a high-pressure domestic dust-up fuelled by stinging insults and bad blood.
Next Saturday night at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, he will settle his bitter feud with Wales' Liam Williams, the former world middleweight title challenger he fails to see eye-to-eye with.
Though when it comes to hostile grudge matches, Eubank has been there, done that, got the t-shirt. The 32-year-old's cocksure, abrasive persona, coupled with his flashy fighting style, has gained him plenty of enemies over the years.
The showdown with Williams simply offers a familiar shot at bragging rights, something he has not always managed to attain. Ahead of his latest conflict, Sportsmail takes a look back at Eubank's three defining rivalries so far.

Loss vs Billy Joe Saunders
The first of Eubank's domestic foes remains his most despised. Saunders, the outspoken traveller with 20 victories under his belt at the time, had a clear disdain for his opponent's boastful demeanor and let him know as much during a spicy build-up to their November 2014 bout.
And somewhat foreign to Eubank up until that point, here he also had a fighter in front of him who matched his confidence in getting the victory.
'Chris is gonna knock me out,' Saunders sarcastically quipped at the pre-fight press conference. 'Listen, he said he's gonna knock me out in his fairyland world.
'But in his own head deep down, he knows what's gonna happen. He knows. He knows he's not ready for me.'
Eubank is no stranger to a grudge match, having also shared a feud with Billy Joe Saunders
Eubank, unbeaten in his 18-fight career at the time, responded: 'It's gonna be a serious shock [for you]. It's one thing to talk about a shark, it's a completely different thing to swim with them. And you're gonna have to swim very, very fast to even come close to beating me on the night.'
When the two arch-enemies eventually collided at London's ExCeL Arena, Saunders clearly took heed of Eubank's words by making the exact kind of swift start he was dreading.
In an impressive first half of the contest, the Hatfield-born fighter bamboozled Eubank with his ramrod jab, quick hands and superior footwork to storm into an early lead.
After coming off second best in the opening rounds Eubank upped the ante as the contest reached its second half. His previously one-dimensional attacks quickly transformed into successful, educated pressure and Saunders, who faded down the stretch, was troubled at times.
But it was Saunders who prevailed when they first collided back in November 2014
Yet despite his ropey finish, it was Saunders who got the all-important decision after 12 fascinating rounds with his adversary. He prevailed via split-decision (115-113, 115-112, 113-116) to retain his British, European and Commonwealth titles and sweep up the most satisfying of bragging rights.
There was a incredibly brief handshake between the two men afterwards, but they remain bitter rivals to this day, with a rematch potentially on the cards next year.
Loss vs George Groves
Almost three years later, Eubank received a world-title shot up at super-middleweight after bouncing back from his first pro loss to record eight straight victories.
The Brighton man was competing in the World Boxing Super Series tournament at 168lbs and, having brutally knocked out Avni Yildirim in the previous round, found himself matched with fellow Brit and WBA champion Groves in the semi-final.
He wasted no time in goading Groves, shouting to reporters after their first face-off:
