    Eubank Jr 4/6
    Groves 6/5

    Slightly off-topic, but Danny Jacobs vs Chris Eubank Jr is rumoured for late 2018 after the WBSS.

    Jacobs is the slight favourite (8/11) with the bookies at this stage.

    Twitter, Eubank Jr said he'd beat Jacobs on Instagram I believe, plus a couple of bookies have put it up.

    I personally don't think there's much to the rumours except that with Jacobs being with Hearn now it could happen at some point.

    They have had odds for that fight since the beginning of this year, they didn't just appear recently.

    Danny Jacobs is in the who needs him club. Not a big enough reward for the risk. He isn't going to bring money and doesn't really have a great resume but is still one of the hardest fights @ 160 ~168.

    If Jr wins the WBSS he has much bigger fish to fry and if he doesn't he will still need to be paid well.

    Jacobs is matchroom USA, their big draw in the US I don't see them bringing him to the UK unless its a big money fight too.
