Chris Eubank Jr

20 best middleweights rated

By Dan Ambrose: Gennady “GGG” Golovkin is clearly the 900lb gorilla in the middleweight division right now without question. He’s proven that he’s the best without even having to fight the top three fighters in the division. However, there’s a lot of disagreement with boxing fans in who are the best fighters overall in the division in their pecking order.

I believe the difference between Golovkin and the rest of the pack is like difference between planet Earth and planet Pluto. Never the less, there is a No.2 guy in the division right now, and I don’t see it being Saul “Canelo” Alvarez despite him being a very popular fighter. I see Canelo as being overrated as a fighter. I think Canelo is more of the next generation’s version of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. In other words, Chavez Jr. 2.0.

Eubank Jr. to face Tommy Langford

by

langford

By Scott Gilfoid: Chris Eubank Jr. will be defending his British middleweight title against challenger Tommy Langford in his next fight. Langford’s promoter Frank Warren won the purse bid for the fight and he’ll be the one putting the match on. Like in the 26-year-old Eubank Jr’s past two fights, he’s deciding to put his emphasis on fighting domestic level opposition rather than facing high quality contenders.

Langford, 27, is currently ranked #2 with the World Boxing Organization, but he’s not seen as one of the more talented fighters in the top 10 rankings by a lot of fans. Langford (17-0, 6 KOs) has been mainly fighting domestic level fighters and having problems getting knockouts over this level of opposition.

Eubank Jr. ready to fight Golovkin now

eubank9144

By Scott Gilfoid: #2 WBA, #2 WBC middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs) took to social media on Thursday to call out unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) for a fight. The 26-year-old Eubank Jr. says he’ll take the belts off of Golovkin once he gets down with his scheduled September 10 fight against unbeaten welterweight Kell “Special K” Brook (36-0, 25 KOs).

Eubank Jr. thinks the Golovkin vs. Brook fight is a joke due to Golovkin facing a welterweight rather than someone from his own weight class. Eubank Jr. had been quiet recently, but he likely chose to speak up after Golovkin called him a “clown’ in a recent interview this week.

Golovkin talks Canelo, Brook and Eubank Jr

(Photo Courtesy/Lawrence Lustig, Matchroom Boxing) By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin has much respect for his next opponent welterweight Kell Brook, who he’ll be facing on September 10 next month at the O2 Arena in London, UK. The two fighters met today in London for their press conference over there.

Golovkin made it clear that he wants to give the British boxing fans a “big present” on September 10 in his fight against Brook, which he promises to be a real “drama show.” That means that Golovkin plans on knocking Brook out and making him his 23rd consecutive knockout win.

By Dan Ambrose: Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions hasn’t given up on the idea of matching his fighter IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) against contender Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs). Loeffler was unable to get an agreement from Eubank Jr. and his father Chris Eubank Sr. for a fight in September this time around, but he’s still interested in getting that fight made.

Loeffler says he’d like to put the Golovkin-Eubank Jr. fight together for December after GGG takes care of business against welterweight Kell Brook on September 10.

Martin Murray wants Eubank Jr. fight

(Martin Murray seen here hiding behind his clam-shell guard against George Groves) By Scott Gilfoid: If #2 WBA, #2 WBC middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs) wants an opponent for his possible fight on September 10 on the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Kell Brook fight card, he might want to consider facing former four-time world title challenger Martin Murray (33-4-1, 16 KOs), because he definitely wants to fight him.

Murray, 33, lost his last fight to super middleweight contender George Groves last June in losing a 12 round decision. Murray couldn’t pull the trigger on his punches, and got stuck hiding behind his clam-shell guard for 12 rounds like a good sparring partner.

Eubank Jr. could fight on Golovkin vs. Brook undercard

by

eubank74

By Patrick McHugh: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn is saying that Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs) could be added to the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Kell Brook card on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England. Having the 26-year-old Eubank Jr. on the undercard of the Golovkin-Brook fight would help setup a fight between the winner of them and Eubank Jr. later on in the year in December.

Hearn would like to match Eubank Jr. against the winner of that fight, as he promotes Eubank Jr. as well as Brook. It would be a win-win situation for Hearn and his Matchroom stable if they can get the winner of the Golokvin vs. Brook fight to face Eubank Jr. rather than having them move in another direction.

Brook interested in Eubank Jr fight after Golovkin

by

brook75

By Jeff Aranow: Welterweight Kell Brook says he’d be interested in facing Chris Eubank Jr. if/when he defeats IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in their fight on September 10. Brook figures to beat Golovkin to take his four world titles from him in their fight at the O2 Arena in London, England. At that point, Brook says he would be open to discussions about particular fights and fight options. Brook could stay at middleweight to defend his belts against Eubank Jr. in what would be a big fight, or he could move back down to 147 to continue to defend his IBF welterweight title.

It might be a little tough for Brook to lose the fight to get back down to 147. Unless there’s a meaningful fight for Brook at welterweight after his next fight with Triple G, it might not be worth it for Brook to go back down in weight. He’s already fought at welterweight for 12 years and has never been able to get any of the top names to fight him in that weight class.

Brook: I’ll show Eubank Jr. how to deal with GGG

by

brook4

By Eric Baldwin: Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) was in the mood to kick sand in the face of Chris Eubank Jr. on Sunday in giving him grief for failing to close the deal to take the fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) for September.

Brook says he’ll show Eubank Jr. how to do the job on GGG. Brook says he doubts that Eubank Jr. ever truly wanted to fight Golovkin. In other words, he was just messing around by calling out Triple G so that he could get attention from the fans and the media. Eubank Jr. certainly did get a great deal of attention from the boxing world.

Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the fight that would have made him a great deal of money. Eubank Jr’s own promoter Eddie Hearn says he would have made between $4 million to $6.5 million for the fight with GGG. That’s a lot of money.
