    Apparently Jim McDonell has said this is happening, although I can't find anything solid on it yet apart from a few Youtube rumours.

    Thoughts on this fight? I have to admit it's better than what I expected for Eubank.


    Edit: It's now on the front page of this site as well

    Is this official or has Eubank posted a video saying names again??

    Arthur is past it I think, but still a good step up for Jr and a decent name for his resume

    King Arthur is still a very dangerous fight, not many beat him.

    I think CEJ beats the brakes off him and stops him but that doesn't mean Arthur isn't a very good fighter.

    I sure hope so. CEJ (if he wins) would get the jump start he needs to finally start fighting on national tv and get some attention.

    This would be a great fight. Not PPV worthy obviously but good clash of styles with the iron chin and solid jab of AA.

    If it's true it's just clever match making imo.

    Abraham who's past it now, who fights for like 30 seconds of a round. Against a fighter who throws a lot and has a good engine.

    Personally I think CEJ has made to look like he has this amazing engine, purely because he hasn't hardly fought a fighter yet who's dangerous. That means he isn't getting hit back and hard, let's see how relentless he is then.

    He also has these little breaks, after he throws a load of shots and no one has capitalised on it yet, but as he faces better competition he's not going to be able to take breathers like he can do now, or pose about.

    He's a good fighter, I like to watch him but he's amazingly overated by people on here.

    You don't come here much do you? You said he's a good fighter but CEJ is a bum that's still hiding from Tommy Langford here?

    I can't see anyone beating Jr on fitness lol, who would have such a stupid game plan?
    Jr would probably just throw less volume at a time, 3's and 4's instead of 6's and 8's.

    He did that against Spike, and made him quit

    I really want to see this. I just can't see Eubank Jn putting a dent in Abraham, the fella is solid, has a great jab and he is intelligent with his movement and when to spring into action.

    Eubank Jn has youth and a great engine on his side and I think he might be able to outwork Abraham's over 12 rounds but not hurt him.

    Abraham is pretty past it but would still be a decent win and easily Jr's best one.

    Abraham is past it, but is still ranked and is a step in the right direction for JR. Decent fight, would be clearly his best win.

    AA is a huge step up from Spike etc. I can't see CEJ stopping him, but he should outwork him over the 12 as long as he's disciplined (yeah, right...) and doesn't get carried away.

    AA is still a dangerous opponent and will capitalise on any nonsense from CEJ.

    Majority of the best SMW around beat him.

    Good good fight.
    Old war horse veteran with a granite chin and tuff as old boots with a bit of pop.
    VS
    High pressure, high volume fighter with decent speed and an awkward style...

    To be honest, could see AA catching Eubank with some and that being game over. This is the type of fight Eubank needs tho then someone like Chudinov or maybe one of the other german based fighters. Win V AA and get another decent scalp and then people might take him a bit more seriously
