    The IBO World Super Middleweight Title bout between Chris Eubank Jnr, Britain’s number one middleweight, and Quinlan, holder of the IBO World Super Middleweight Title, will be shown on ITV Box Office, ITV’s new pay per view channel, early in 2017 as ‘The Big Fight Live’ returns. The promoter is Poxon Sports in association with Unity Motion.

    Chris Eubank Jnr the former British middleweight champion and former interim world middleweight champion said: “We are the Next Generation and my team and I will now show fight fans the highest standard and quality of world championship boxing entertainment.

    “I feel blessed to have this opportunity to work with ITV after they first showcased my father 26 years ago. And I intend to deliver more of what my father did: speed, power, accuracy, showmanship and the will to fight and beat the best of the best. Maybe even with a little bit more swagger!”

    haha and people thought ITV were going to come in save the day.

    Who is going to pay to watch Eubank Jnr fight a nobody?

    Eubank Jnr has gone from a potential Sky Box office fight vs GGG which would of earned him millions to now fighting on ITV v PPV vs a nobody.

    This is pretty funny to read.

    Nobody is buying this. Seems more like the eubanks have nowhere to go and this is the only option left.

    Only confirms that he never wanted GGG. He was all talk and his quite happy to fight mediocre opponents. Remember he even had the audacity to criticise Brook's corner for throwing in the towel vs GGG yet since then his fought nobody.

    Actually not a bad fight. The guy his fighting has a win over Daniel Geale which isn't too bad. But is anyone going buy this? No.

    Be interesting to see the undercard for this. Also the price. Something tells me it won't be the same as sky sports price of 16.95. Would say it will be cheaper but will it be worth it? Probably not.

    I don't know what to say really, a perplexing decision.

    Seriously who is going to pay for this. On the other hand the IBO may get some more recognition if held by a better known fighter. I think the IBO deserves it. Better than that shower of sh1te the WBA with 17 belts for each weight clas

    It'll be a tenner as the undercard is on ITV4. It's a UFC type set up.

    That's a bit different. UFC don't charge for the main event, they charge for the show. They may have free fights on TV but you pay for the PPV for the card not a PPV fight.

    Wow, just wow
    This is nothing short of funny and ridiculous at the same time. I've often defended the Eubanks but this is just mind boggling

    ITV Box Office. Renold Quinlan. Poxon Sports. IBO World Super Middleweight Title.

    Too much for my brain to process, off to lie down for a bit. Maybe until 2018.
