    What is the story with him. He hasn't fought since February and has nothing lined up. Has anyone heard anything.

    He left Frank on July 31st and then his old man went youth hosteling last week. That's it.

    He should be fighting Daniel Jacobs, I'd have thought, since Eubank won the interim WBA against Chudinov back in Feb. Of course depends on boxing politics, money and all the usual. Would expect Hearn to snap Eubank up having split from Wárren, but that's just me assuming...

    Eubank Jr has had a very inactive career, been a pro for 4-5 years now.

    I think the best idea for Eubank is to try and get a backer like Frampton has and time buy or sign with Haymon and relocate to the U.S. full time. Neither are easy.

    His manager is his mum-in-law. Odd.

    I would be astonished if fast Eddie would entertain Chris Snr - I don't think a matchroom
    move is in the works at all. Frank would have put up with them if they stayed working with him as he could have a ready made major fight with Eubank facing the Lee/ Saunders winner.

    I think Sauerland is an outside bet but Haymon has to be favourite

    I remember Hearn saying Eubank is one he would love to have in his stable but his dad would have to be out of the picture as far as the promotion goes, however I know they have a good relationship as Eubank Snr consulted Hearn regarding the fee for the Saunders fight, it was in an IFL interview so I would very much expect him to sign for Matchroom.

    Sauerland will want another british name after Price has flopped for them.
    Outside shot Mayweather promotions.

    Mayweather Promotions isn't an outside shot, seeing as Floyd Sr has trained Eubank Jr and Eubank Jr has trained with Mayweather Jr. It would be Chris Eubank Promotions in association with Mayweather Promotions.

    His stock dropped a little in my eyes at the performance of Chudinov if anyone happened to catch it?
