By Allan Fox: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn says he wants to match his fighter Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs) against the winner of the September 10 fight between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) and Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KOs). Hearn attempted to put together a fight between Eubank Jr. and Golovkin recently, but he couldn’t hammer out the deal.
Eubank Jr. reportedly froze when it came time for him to agree to the contract. Hearn needed Eubank Jr. to quickly agree because he had a short timeline before Golovkin and his team would move on and look for another opponent.
