Talks Start For a Chris Eubank Jr Vs Gennady Golovkin Title Fight in The UK

Chris Eubank Jr. has said he see’s Canelo vacating his WBC middleweight title working in his favour.

Canelo Alvarez, the now ex-WBC middleweight champion looks set to have a few fights away from the GGG bout, as does Golovkin, this is great news for fighters like Chris Eubank Jr. A fight that Chris would like to happen as early as September this year.

Eubank Jr. said: “It’s going to happen, this isn’t a joke or just media talk – I want to fight this guy. I’ve always said I want to fight the best in the world and prove I’m up there too.”

“I would love to fight Golovkin in September. We have to start shooting for this guy because I don’t want to start next year and then it takes another year.

“But September is possible, he’s in talks with Eddie so we will see what happens. I know Gennady has definitely expressed an interest in fighting me.”

Talking about the elusive fight between Canelo and GGG Chris said, “That works in my favour, now that fight is not going to happen he needs somebody else – so bring it on.”

“And it makes the sense to have it over here in England. This is where the most amount of money is.”
