who does eubabk jnr fight and why

Honestly,,, of im hos advisor, I say stay away from ggg and Saunders at the moment... Let's focus on guys with a name but not much threat: geale, angulo, kirkland, maybe lemuiex....

100% correct. If you read one of my posts on the bottom of the first page my only explanation was the one you have just provided, but i cant see the advantage at donestic level. Eubank can pick and choose neway and pull a much bigger audience on freeview tv and be main event The money is likely a tenth of what he can get with Sky Sports on freeview TV. The Eubanks seem to value the image of being "Britain's champion", but Eubank Jr has the talent, from what I can see, to actually be a world-level MW fighter (and possibly the best MW on the planet, if the talent shows out). With ambitions beyond simply fighting at domestic level, freeview TV in the UK isn't the place to be.

Eddie Hearn is the pathway to PPV in Britain (which is where the "no need to ever travel anywhere" money is made). Sky Sports is the seeming Big Kahuna of British Boxing, and Hearn has more connections at world level than seeming every other outfit. If Eubank can show out as the third fight on Joshua's PPV, and then show out again as third fight/chief support for the coming Brook-Vargas PPV, after showing out on the December Joshua PPV against Spike O'Sullivan, you start to build the case for Eubank being his own headliner at world level. Not too different than the approach taken with Canelo, tbh. 100% correct.

I fully understand that, but why fight at world level then go back for the lonsdale. And why go with eddie if your only fighting domestic, no scenario seems to make sense!! If that was the plan hed of been better off sticking with channel 5 then getting a better deal out of hearn. Hearn provides no advantage to euabank getting domestic fights, he eill only take a bigger cut. Pretty sure your right it is 3 defenses Eddie Hearn is the pathway to PPV in Britain (which is where the "no need to ever travel anywhere" money is made).

I wish people would stop with the Eubank fighting GGG next, Eubank isn't fighting GGG anytime soon. That fight would be talked about but would never happen until GGG turns 37ish, I saw this with Hatton when he talked about fighting Tsyzu back in 2001 when Tsyzu was facing Judah. Hearn would never put Eubank in there with GGG until they feel he has a chance at dethroning him. The way I see it, Eubank wants to make a steady progress up the ranking like Tyson fury did then by the time he gets more fights under his belt he would go after whoever is at top at that time. exactly eubank will only fight a guy he knows he can beat

I think Khurtsidze makes a lot of sense for Eubank. He's similar to Chudinov, who Eubank beat the hell out of, and he's also high ranked across the board. If GGG fights Saunders next and Chris beat Khurtsidze, he'd be GGG's mando for the WBO, WBC, and maybe WBA.

understood why he didnt take the jacobs fight, he needs to develop as a fighter but 2 more bum fights then its GGG? Hell no, bad move. BJS, Jacobs then GGG would be ideal

2/3 title defenses gets you the Lonsdale belt for keeps (inconsistent info, at the moment), so I'd figure that Eubanks does that before committing to world level I fully understand that, but why fight at world level then go back for the lonsdale.

I was just wondering everyones opinion on who eubank jnr will fight next, after doran . After snubbing a world title shot vs jacobs in favor of a british title fight against blackwell and fighting for matchroom again im just wondering who everybody thinks are in the pipeline for eubank. 2/3 title defenses gets you the Lonsdale belt for keeps (inconsistent info, at the moment), so I'd figure that Eubanks does that before committing to world level

Nobodies..because he's a British fighter....

This is my point exactly, hence why its hard to see why eubanks made the career moves he has. What is his plan? Doesnt seem to add up

Hmmm yea I didn't think about the Hearn angle. Not sure how I feel about that. Hearn could wanna hold back on that. Although Hearn has shown more ability then most promoters in matching his guys up tough. Maybe GGG is too tough doe. Also its notable that the Eubank's aren't the typical fighter/manager. They already left Hearn in the dust recently & I got no doubt they'd do it again if Hearn goes against their wishes or falls short in anyway so I think I'd learn towards Hearn having little to no impact on a GGG fight happening or not happening. Exactly why i am struggling to see eubanks plan. Because i cant see the advantage of going back to hearn. I disagree with Hearn setting up tough matches for his fighters, if its for a world title and its the best hand on the table he will take the risk. But after that he uses them as a cash cow. Look at brook, obviously he got stabbed but to me its a good excuse, think brook would have fought same opponents anyway. Then look at quigg didnt really have an easy draw however you look at it, so eddie took a risky but big money domestic fight. Joshua will fight easy opposition ubtil he has to fight better At least frank warren let his fighters fight tough fights and the fights they wanted, which is why hes second best now. Only reason i can think they gone with eddie is because they can pull a bigger audience and more money off sky to sell themselves as a more lucrative opponent

I actually don't blame him for snubbing that Jacobs fight its a very dangerous one an opponent who Eubank Jr he has never fought someone who hits as hard maybe they just want to get a crack at GGG first and they don't want to risk losing to someone who has that one punch KO style.

The BJS rematch won't happen any time soon as BJS is a Warren fighter. Having said that, this Eubank deal is only for 3 fights, so it's not like Eddie Hearn will be guiding him like he does his own fighters, he would want the fights that will help his own agenda while not pissing off Snr. Or maybe he won't care and feel Eubanks name is enough to add that glamour to a card. It'll be interesting to see who is next after Doran. Adam Etches perhaps :lol1:

I think Eubank could end up fighting GGG next potentially. As long as Eubank & Eubank Sr aren't bsing & K2 doesn't get a better option + would entertain Eubank as their next challenger even through he still feels like a prospect more than a contender. Don't hate the fight either. I think GGG is obviously entertaining, I think Eubank is entertaining. I think it'd be fun. I don't think Eubank walks away with a W here & I could understand the argument its "too soon" as fighters much more seasoned then Eubank are claiming, but I'm a fan of this happening in September. I would like to see this fight, i think ggg wins but it would be nice to see a fighter not afraid to get in close. My problem is even though hearn is insisting eubank wants ggg, surely hed have taken the jacobs fight to put himself in better position to set it up. Too many fighters using gggs name to gain attention with no intention of fighting him Im trying to sum up what eubanks plan is. I cant see a saunders rematch likely. Possibly could get jacobs then ggg??

You might want to read up on the recent boxing news. He already has an opponent. Thanks for that i thought he wouldnt have a massive fight next which is why i mentioned at the end of the post his next two fights. I had checked recent news on eubank jnr but it was all about him offering blackwell the lonsdale belt. Never thouht to check boxrec. I have edited the post now. Thanks again, what a tit i am
