    Eubank, the WBA interim middleweight champion and #1 contender, will face WBA #11 O'Sullivan on December 12th as co-feature to Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte on Sky.

    Eubank halted WBA #13 contender Tony Jeter in under four minutes yesterday, while Spike has stayed active in 2015 with four appearances in the ring already.

    O'Sullivan has been sparring with ex champ Jermain Taylor since just a couple of days after his last KO victory over David Toribio.

    O'Sullivan vs. Smith: (his most recent fight uploaded anywhere online; for some reason none of his three since can be found despite the last two having been on high-profile cards staged by PBC)

    Eubank won't be interim champion tomorrow. He's getting stripped and it's being given to Alfonso Blanco :-(

    Ah, then it won't be on the line here, but it still will be the WBA #1 vs. #11, so probably an eliminator of some kind.

    ...and Blanco is pretty good, not sure why the head-shake.

    Yes...a 39 year old with no creditable victories over even respectable journeymen and with three stoppage losses, two of them (along with a draw) coming against guys with losing records. :!:

    Spike by KO Eubank isn't a defensive wizard, he's there to be hit, and Gary will catch him with something big and stop his pampered ass, I doubt he has the old man's chin.

    Because of the WBA madness. The title was on the line for Eubank Jr v Jeter, however the winner was getting stripped come what may on Monday. And if they didn't pay the sanctioning fees, they was both getting dropped from the WBA rankings, and being that Eubank wants to fight GGG, he probably paid it.

    Kind of mind-boggling that O'Sullivan and Jeter are just two spots removed in the rankings, when the former is about 30x the fighter the latter is.

    Eubank won't be having it as easy as he did yesterday, that's for sure. (although he is sure to be the bookies' favorite here)

    I've been saying this since I first watched him. Eubank is world class. He's just unfortunate his division is under absolute domination by a world beater. Otherwise he'd have as good of a claim as anyone else. He will destroy Sullivan.
