By Scott Gilfoid: Chris Eubank Jr. has reportedly vacated his British middleweight title and pulled out of his scheduled October 22nd defense against challenge Tommy Langford due to an elbow injury he sustained during a sparring session. I don’t know if you can call this a disappointment that the 26-year-old Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18 KOs) has pulled out of the Langford fight.
“Gutted” was Eubank Jr’s response on Twitter to his injury and his subsequent vacating of his British title. Eubank Jr’s father Chris Eubank responded to the news, saying “Chris Eubank Jr’s British middleweight Championship was officially relinquished yesterday due to injury.”
