By Marcus Richardson: British promoter Frank Warren says he’d like to setup a comeback fight for former IBO super middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. and Tommy Langford and Mark Heffron. Warren figures that both of those guys would beat the 28-year-old Eubank Jr. (26-2, 20 KOs), who is coming off of a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision loss to WBA Super World super middleweight champion George Groves (28-3, 20 KOs) last Saturday night in the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series tournament at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Exclusive interview by Ian Aldous: On Saturday April 22nd, British middleweight champion, Tommy Langford (18-0), will face Avtandil Khurtsidze (32-2-2) for the interim WBO world middleweight championship at the Leicester Arena, live on BT Sport in the UK. It’s a huge opportunity for the Frank Warren promoted fighter to claim a seat at the table of the elite 160lb fighters in the world. Last week, Tommy took some time to talk with me over the phone after a day of sparring in Manchester with fellow British middleweight Martin Murray.

IA: You’re still undefeated as a professional, you’ve beaten everyone who’s been put in front of you so far, do you think it’s safe to say that you’re not sure quite how good you are yet?

By Scott Gilfoid: With WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders in negotiations for a fight against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin on June 10, #1 WBO Avtandil Khurtsidze will fight Tommy Langford for the interim WBO 160 pound title on April 22 at the Leicester Arena in Leicester, England. Dan Rafael is reporting the big news about the Khurtsidze-Langford fight, which isn’t a bad match-up. The winner of the fight will face the winner of the Golovkin vs. Saunders fight at some point in the future.

The fight will likely need to take place soon, as Saunders has already been ordered by the World Boxing Organization to fight back to back mandatory challengers due to him having sat inactive for 1 year before he finally made a voluntary defense against fringe contender Artur Akavov last December.
