By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF middleweight champion Darren Barker was pouring it on real thick today in praising the talent of WBA interim middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr (19-1, 14 KOs) in saying that he sees him as a future world champion.
Barker feels that the 26-year-old Eubank Jr will be a world champion at some point in his career. Barker doesn’t say when or what division that he’ll be accomplishing this. It’s interesting that Barker isn’t smothering Billy Joe Saunders with compliments because he just beat Eubank Jr last November.
