By Ben Sutherland – The Eubanks have always been a unique, quirky and controversial duo. Eubank Sr in particular, who is never afraid to make his feelings known, has always been very strongly opinionated. This propensity to talk hasn’t been backed up.
They called out Golovkin. There was some interest from Golovkin and his team who until recently had been very much avoided. However, after contracts were drawn up, Eubank lost his pen. The Eubanks, despite blatantly being the B side in negotiations claimed “they weren’t yes men” and wanted a fair shake. Clearly if they had genuinely wanted to fight Golovkin “the funny business” in the contracts wouldn’t have been a problem for Eubank Jr who would’ve seen his largest pay day ever and by far and away his highest profile fight. They decided to forgo this opportunity and instead decided to defend the British title against the much lesser known Tom Doran.
