Tom Doran is confident of exposing Chris Eubank Jr when the pair meet live on Sky Sports Box Office at The O2 on June 25.

The Welshman (17-0-KO7) produced a stunning performance last time out in April; clambering up from a first-round knockdown to stop Luke Keeler in the second.

Now stepping up to challenge Eubank Jr (22-1-KO17) for the British middleweight title on the undercard of Anthony Joshua v Dominic Breazeale, Doran believes he has more than enough power to trouble the champion.

Tom Doran says he has seen chinks in the armour of Chris Eubank Jr and he will expose them on June 25th.

He said: "I don't think that Eubank Jr's punch resistance has been tested yet. I know that I have the power to hurt him in the fight and I'm going to lay it all on the line. Fighting for the British title is what I dreamed of doing when I turned pro and I intend to take it with both hands.

"It's a huge chance for me and I can't wait, to be on the same show as the biggest draw in British boxing right now in Anthony Joshua is just phenomenal, and I can't thank Eddie Hearn and Dave Coldwell enough for making it happen.

Chris Eubank Sr says he was good enough to beat a fighter like Golovkin so his son should have no fear of Triple G.

"Eubank Jr is a great fighter, you can't take that away from him, but I'll be working to a game plan and I am confident I can rip the title from him. He's number three in the world, that speaks for itself, but taking that scalp and getting into the world rankings myself is just another incentive in this fight, it's a great springboard

"He's got chinks in his armour and I plan to make the most of them. I'm not going to broadcast them, but he's a man with two hands like me and I intend to show the best of me. I'm fighting unbeaten fighters all the time and beating them and there's not many people at middleweight that are doing that."
