    Yes, that’s what I thought but then he started saying he feared for George Groves’s life before Jr fought him.

    Hearn and Brooks father both shouldn't even of considered making that fight you don't jump two weight divisions to challenge a killer GGG, what serious chance did they think he had?

    Not even a punchers one, career shortening fight and most could see that without hindsight.

    It was the oneupmanship vs Khan

    Khan knew he could get beat off a mediocre fighter so chose Canelo, as he was nowhere near elite.

    Brook actually had the chance to unify belts and go on to bigger things.

    It was a shocking decision to put him there with GGG.

    I think Eubank Sr ultimately knew of his son’s limitations. He lacked IQ, a right hand and his chin while decent was not like his own.

    The posturing was a Eubank Sr face saving exercise while carefully managing his son’s career.

    The fact is given Eubank Jrs profile he was a high reward low risk fight for all belt holders so would have been easy to get multiple shots if there was appetite on their side

    Could be a case of whoever lands first.

    judging by how pathetic Eubank looked last time out, Kell should be nigh on favourite.

    Even in Kells losses he usually landed a few before getting pasted.

    He might only need to land a few tbh.

    Did Eubank even have weight clause in the last one? I think he did. Should be at 165+ if it gets made

    He's hired a costly beard in the only fans skank Bridges, why doesn't Kell just live as his true authentic gay self?

    I'm very concerned we see this fight, probably as PPV too, it just seems too obvious.

    I'd assume Eubank wins now but he did look really shot in his last fight, Brook had more than I thought in the Khan fight but I don't even know how long ago that was. Overall I have Brook a winner in a general head to head, Brook was world class, Chris loses to people that are world class, Brook is very accurate and could potentially force a stoppage.
