Joshua vs Breazeale: Chris Eubank Jr is back and looking for limelight
Tuesday 21 June 2016 20:29, UK
Chris Eubank Jr defends his British title against Tom Doran on June 25. Here's a look back at some of his more dramatic statements...
The Brighton middleweight (22-1-KO17) is back on Sky Sports Box Office on the undercard of Anthony Joshua v Dominic Breazeale at The O2 and is expected to have too much for the unbeaten Doran (17-0-KO7).
With his two-weight world champion father, Chris Eubank, at his side, Jr has never been lacking for confidence; so let's reflect on some of his headlining-making statements...
There's a fighter called Chris Eubank Jr from England. I think he's going to be the next guy to replace Floyd [Mayweather].
I personally see weaknesses in his boxing style. There is no maybe about it. He's 100 per cent beatable and I am the man to do it.
If you watch the [Blackwell] fight, in the middle of combinations I am actually turning round and talking to [Saunders] and Tyson Fury, I am calling him out, that is how much I want to get this guy back in the ring.
I was invited to his gym a few years back to spar with him. I went in there and schooled him, beat him up. He wasn't happy about it - he was embarrassed and upset.
That is my dream, to become a world middleweight champion and Jacobs is the man they are going to put in front of me and he's not going to get in my way.
Watch Chris Eubank Jr vs Tom Doran as part of Joshua vs Breazeale, live on Sky Sports Box Office from The O2, on June 25. Book the event online here.
