The thing that’s strange is that Kalle (that promoter guy can’t mind his name ) was talking about fighting Brook before the Khan fight so it would of been less money as to what it is now. Brook is a welterweight , 154 at best. He adds absolutely nothing to Eubanks legacy or world ranking. If he wants a domestic dust up and a couple quid then go for BJS. If he wants a risky domestic dust up with less money then go for Liam Smith
Time waits for no man and unfortunately Eubank Jnr has wasted a lot of time in his career , I am not a fan of his public persona but I do acknowledge his physical prowess in terms of chin and engine . The jury is still out on his pure boxing ability and his losses against Saunders and Groves highlighted this. He seems to concentrate too much time on washed up fighters and his recent fascination about fighting Kell Brook is only to increase his bank balance. GGG will be drawing his pension soon so I think Junior needs to start calling out someone like Charlo .
He mentioned potentially fighting Liam William next (or his promoter did), or the Kazakh (think that's right and forgot his name). Reason suggested Williams as they know it could be done for a mandatory spot, they see it as an easy fight (smith is a LMW). The other lad I don't know much about but his record looks very average. Again he just wanted to do two things: 1) Easiest PPV fight he can get. 2) Easiest route to a title, so he can set up a big money unification fight. He's got no interest in anything else, that's why his career has stalled so much. Everything I hate about the sport he is doing.
Calling out a faded and retired 147 to fight at 160 when you've fought at 168 for a World Title is ridiculous. I know Brook fought at 160 6 years ago but look what happened there, two broken eye sockets and bouncing around 154 and 147 later, not to mention getting stopped by Spence Jnr and Crawford, the man is absolutely finished. Jnr is full of it, he's an embarrassment to the sport, there's plenty of big fights for World Titles to be had if he applies himself but he's clearly not good enough or doesn't have the confidence in his ability to believe he can win two or three more challenging fights and fight the best in the division. Why move back down to 160 if you aren't going to push for a belt?
Hello Mate, well, I got a little ban, sulked, got stubborn and eventually missed you all so much I couldn't stop myself logging back in
Does Junior have an actual fan base? I don't count him as Eubank's kid actually, he's more like Chris's sentient vomit. Waste of time wish he'd just get pumped by GGG.
I think the writing is on the wall for Jnr, an eningmatic career that is seriously dropping off now as he tries to protect his 2.
