No fight lined up and is calling out Bellew in twitter! His dad really ****ed his career up big time. He was better off independent so he could move from promoter to promyer depending on the fight.
I've seen the exchange, Bellew made comments about him first. Eubank entitled to fire back. Bellew talking **** about other people being fake world champions when he won a vacant belt and defended it against an awful opponent.
yeah i agree if Eubank was just giving him a bit of stick, but Eubank is being serious, in his latest tweet he's claimed Bellew is running from him. He's a laughing stock and has no intention of being in meaningful fights
Pathetic exchange lol, Bellew is annoying but poor from Eubank too Eubank been very quiet lately, no interviews on ifl etc. I am assuming something is up with ITV PPV as his next fight was supposed to be April. Needs to fight often to gain momentum
Funny how boxers rarely talk about how often being a 'world' champion means relatively little (Bellew a prime case in point), but they're queuing up to slate the IBO as being fake.
The Eubanks have worked themselves into a very strange situation now. Between the ITV relationship and the IBO cereal box belt, I don't really know who Jr could fight. They will want someone who is somewhat credible for their 'world title' defence, but not someone who poses a real threat. What Jr should be doing is fighting eliminators for a 'real' world title. But they can't do that after all the talk about the IBO and how embarrassing he has been with the belt. Sr will want to keep the pantomime going with the DeGale 'rivalry', while keeping the money rolling in. It's a tightrope and I can't wait to see who they manage to find as an opponent.
Would like to see CEJ v Andy Lee at 160lbs, throw Adam Booth in the mix nice little fight that, but then again Andy Lee has a pulse.
Eubank Jnr is desperate. He calls out any and everyone rather than working towards the mandatory position. His career is becoming a joke
Jnr himself is a joke His career his a joke Snr conducts himself like a complete idiot these days and the pair of them are going nowhere
Not denying that. But remember, he'd been chinned in round 1 before. Hasn't had a fight since. Best win on his record was Mchunu and I think Mchunu is overrated too, a small Cruiserweight. IBO is a joke belt but Quinlan wasn't THAT bad. Eubank needs to step it up but I'm not sure why Bellew made those comments about Eubank, probably because he's pals with Degale.
Thing is the ITV move was a good move and still is if they get the right fights. I don't even have an issue with the IBO belt I think the Eubanks are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Like you said now they have this belt and the way they have hyped it, they can't just drop it or do rubbish defences. At this moment in time we don't even know which division he will fight in next, yet he seems keen to fight Saunders or Golovkin. It's one or the other (middleweight or super mid) either route will cause a bit of confusion as it contradicts what has been said before.
ITV have lumped themselves with a very expensive, chronic problem in going along with the Eubanks. I imagine Junior is guaranteed a minimum purse nobody else would entertain, and by now it's clear they have no intention of taking anything that could be considered a competitive, let alone dangerous fight. How long they can pay Twitter's biggest troll extortionate purses for public sparring sessions is anyone's guess. Hard to feel sorry for a channel who immediately tried to milk what they considered morons with more spare money than sense though. I wouldn't miss either ITV or the Eubank comedy act.
