Chris Eubank Jr. Demolishes Jeter in Two Round Mismatch

By Terence Dooley

Sheffield Arena, Sheffield - WBA interim-middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (20-1, 15KOs) demolished Tony Jeter (20-5-1) in two rounds. It was Eubank's first fight under new trainer Adam Booth, and also his first fight under the Matchroom Sport promotional banner.

Eubank will now be stripped of the WBA title. Because of inactivity, the sanctioning body took away the title from Eubank but at the same time they allowed him to make a final title defense with Jeter. The interim-belt has already been captured by Alfonso Blanco.

Eubank will now face Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan on December 12th at the O2 Arena in London.

Jeter was outclassed from the very beginning. Eubank hit him at will. Near the midway point of the first, Jeter was dropped on his back after taking two hard left hooks. He made it up and was staggering for the remainder of that round.

As the second started, Eubank pressed Jeter against the ropes and unloaded with both hands on a defenseless Jeter. The referee immediately jumped in to save the 39-year-old opponent. 

Jeter was in way over his head. After the fight was over, the live crowd booed the outcome due to the obvious nature of it being a mismatch.
