If he can't get the big names he needs to get in the WSS tournament Winning that would legitamize him as there will be names that enter + huge money. Come back the with the title and he is probably 2nd to AJ as the biggest name in UK boxing. Jr has fought twice in the last 12 months and 3x in the last 15 months, same as GGG and Canelo, more than Jack and Degale. He should have fought more but had an injury and seems to be negotiating for fights at the moment.
In my opinion ITV's Head Of Sport must be regretting this LOL because I would be. I'm sure I heard Hearn say they had a date in June but cancelled it, I don't know why.
It's a bit strange for someone at this stage of their career to be so quiet over who their next opponent could be. But then again, everything else about the Eubanks is a bit strange so we shouldn't be too surprised.
I would like to see Jnnior enter the Super Series tournament, this would put any doubt aside about his bottle.
2nd biggest name in the UK? LOL He couldn't even sell out the leisure centre he was fighting at. What was it 50k buys again for an event that cost less than a tenner? The guy is an undercard fighter, when he gets the stones to fight someone decent things may change but as of right now any fanbase this joke has is because people are tuning in to see him lose.
I walk past Sr quite a lot outside my work, so I might ask him. Degale will likely look to unify. SO he could go after the winner of Zeuge-Smith (which is Zeuge) or I think he will more likely make a defence of the IBO against one of these chaps (their rankings are done by computer and they have a top 100, which still includes Daniel Geale)... 1 1 George Groves UK 29 WBA International 2016-11-18 25-3 18 2 2 2 Arthur Abraham DE 37 2017-04-22 46-5 30 1 3 4 Badou Jack SE 33 WBC 2017-01-14 21-1-2 12 1 4 3 Callum Smith UK 27 2016-12-10 22-0 17 0 5 6 Anthony Dirrell US 32 2017-01-13 30-1-1 24 0 6 8 Avni Yildirim TR 25 2017-02-18 15-0 10 0 7 9 Jesse Hart US 27 USBA 2017-04-08 22-0 18 0 8 10 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr MX 31 2017-05-06 50-3-1 32 1 9 21 Hadillah Mohoumadi FR 36 EBU (European) 2017-05-05 22-4-1 16 1 10 12 Renold Quinlan AU 27 IBO International 2017-02-04 11-2 7 1 11 13 Daniel Geale AU 36 2016-10-14 31-5 16 3 12 14 Dilmurod Satybaldiev RU 22 2016-05-21 11-1 2 0 13 18 Ronald Gavril RO 30 NABF 2017-04-29 18-1 14 0 14 15 Nadjib Mohammedi FR 32 2016-10-15 38-5 23 4 15 16 Patrick Nielsen DK 26 Apti Ustarkhanov is the current Intercontinental champion after drawing with Patrick Mendy so maybe that's more likely.
