By Scott Gilfoid: Following his 3rd round knockout win over Avni Yildirim (16-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night in the World Boxing Super Series tournament, IBO super middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (26-1, 20 KOs) called out WBA 168 lb. champion George Groves, telling him that he’s coming for him and imploring him not to lose his fight next Saturday night against Jamie Cox in the tournament.
By Gavin Howie: In years gone by the Super Middleweight division was certainly one of my favorites growing up. The likes of Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins etc. And more recently Joe Calzaghe, Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler to name just a few. Most of these guys faced each other and were involved in some memorable match ups.
By Gav Duthie: The latest brain child of Sauerland Promotions gets underway next month bringing some of the finest boxing talent from two weight classes together to find a supreme champion. Sauerland has joined forces with Richard Schaefer to create The World Boxing Super Series tournament in both the Super Middleweight and Cruiserweight divisions.
By Scott Gilfoid: Former 168 lb. champion Carl Froch has WBA super middleweight champion George Groves as the favorite in the World Boxing Super Series over the likes of Callum Smith, Chris Eubank Jr. and Erik Skoglund. The series is lacking is missing a lot of the other top 168 lb. fighters like the Dirrell brothers, James DeGale, Gilberto Ramirez, David Benavidez and Jose Uzcategui. Not having those guys in the tournament takes a lot of the intrigue, because those are guys that would have a chance against anyone in the tourney.
By Scott Gilfoid: With a big bout against WBA super middleweight champion George Groves (26-3, 19 KOs) just over the horizon, Chris Eubank Jr. (25-1, 19 KOs) earned a spot in the World Boxing Super Series tournament on Saturday night in defeating past his prime for 2 division world champion Arthur Abraham 46-6, 30 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision at the SSE Wembley Arena in London, England.
By Ciaran O’Malley: The World Boxing Super Series Quarter-Final draws were made on Saturday night at a star studded draft Gala in Monaco, bringing with it some exciting and exceptional match-ups for the first stage of the newly formed tournament.

By Adam Godfrey: That IBF Super-Middleweight Champion James DeGale and newly crowned WBA Super-Middleweight Champion will meet in a rematch is essentially a given, should there be any semblance of intelligent match-making left in the sport; Groves beat DeGale in their 2011 bout by a majority decision. Besting his former Dale Youth Boxing stablemate did nothing to ease the intense rivalry between the two men, such was the narrow nature of Groves’ victory.
