Live Fight Night
Background
Eubank Jr makes his Sky Sports debut on Saturday night under new trainer Adam Booth and a barrage of publicity. With his father, Chris Sr having assured a place in the history books as a world middleweight and super-middleweight champion in the 1990s, much is expected.
His only career defeat came almost a year ago - a split points decision in favour of Billy Joe Saunders, who is about to challenge WBO world champion Andy Lee. Eubank Jr, though, insists he has learned his lessons and is ready for the big time.
Some have doubted the validity of his father's claims that Eubank Jr is the man to dethrone Gennady Golovkin, but what's for sure is that an entertaining journey will begin when the Brighton man steps in to face experienced American Jeter.
What the Eubank camp says:
What the experts say:
Chris Eubank Jr is a great talent and a cracking little fighter. It is all about timing but I think he will become a world champion.
Chris Eubank Jr is the only one I've heard saying he wants Golovkin but he should stop. He's got a great deal of potential but he should focus on the job in hand.
Eubank Jr has been like having a brand new, top of the range Bugatti in the garage: you tell everyone it's there but you don't want anybody to see it because the days aren't sunny enough!
The son can fight and I am looking forward to seeing what Adam Booth can tweak. I want to seeing his journey but we know his dad is good for the game. You have to come out and watch because it's definitely an event when they're on!
