Chris Eubank Junior (22-1, 17 KOs) has joined forces with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing for the second time. Hearn Tweeted the news at midday today, with Eubank’s opponent and further information to be revealed at a press conference tomorrow afternoon.

‘Proud to announce we have signed a new promotional deal with @ChrisEubankJr,’ wrote Hearn. He also stated that the British middleweight champion will fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s maiden IBF heavyweight title defence against Dominc Breazeale, which takes place on June 25 at London’s O2 Arena.

“It's great to be back on the Matchroom team and I’m really looking forward to fighting again on Sky,” said Eubank. “Anthony and I make a great British double act, when on the same card, and we guarantee excellent entertainment for our fans. I’m confident that there will be many more victories for both of us in the near future.”

“I'm delighted to agree a new promotional contract with Chris Eubank Jr,” added Hearn. “He is fast becoming one of the biggest star attractions in the sport and I feel we have the perfect platform in Sky Sports to continue that and deliver him the huge fights. It's a fantastic addition to the June 25 card and just like the last time Jnr was there, I'm sure he will light up The O2.”

Eubank has fought under Mick Hennessy, Frank Warren and re-joins Hearn following a stint with Matchroom last year. They briefly parted company when Hearn failed to secure the purse bids for Eubank’s fight against Nick Blackwell, a 10th-round TKO win that left the former champion with a bleed on the skull that forced doctors to place him into an induced coma.

Thankfully, Blackwell is now on the mend and Eubank has Tweeted his former opponent messages of support. Famously, his father was never the same fighter after his rematch with Michael Watson left his opponent with severe head injuries, often letting opponents off the hook when he had them hurt.

Eubank Junior, however, has stated that he will retain his offensive style despite what happened in the Blackwell fight. Fans will get to see if he is still the same fighter live on Sky Sports Box Office come June 25.
