Dmitry Chudinov: This is a fantastic opportunity for me to defeat the son of one of the greats of world boxing. Everyone in Russia knows of Chris Eubank, by beating his son it will turn me into a national hero and then I can go and get the super-fights against Golovkin. Eubank talks a lot, I am a man of few words and I do all my talking in the ring and come February 28th, I will do all the talking with my fists. In my last fight I boxed in front of over 100,000 people in Russia, coming to London will have no worries for me. Chris Eubank Jr: Im glad to have met my adversary face-to-face, man-to-man, for the first time and I know what Im up against. On paper hes the interim world champion and the man I must beat to get the belt, but having seen him face-to-face and looked him deep in the eyes, I see a man who is up against insurmountable odds. I think for once in a fight the roles are reversed and Im coming in the good guy and hes coming in the bad guy, I just want my country to be behind me and I cant wait for the day I fight in an opponents backyard. This is now all about me and getting to where I should be. I know that beating Chudinov and getting the title it will open doors for me and one of them could be a rematch Saunders. Promoter Frank ******: If Chris wants the rematch with Saunders then he knows what he must do, beat Chudinov and hell fight the winner out of Andy Lee and Saunders in their WBO World title fight which will be a huge fight.
I reckon it will. It makes sense for BJS to enforce his mandatory position and force Andy to fight him here. Much better for Billy than to risk having to go to the U.S. to face An added bonus if he does is the title stays over here, either way!
