Chris Eubank Jr said he will send George Groves into retirement when the two British fighters contest the World Boxing Association super-middleweight title in Manchester on Saturday. The pair eyeballed each other at Friday's weigh-in, with Eubank Jr throwing a few more verbal jabs at Groves, the title-holder, ahead of their World Boxing Super Series semi-final.

He still won a world title after Froch, and Eubank JR isn't Froch - it's not the same.
Yeah, against weak opposition. Agreed that Eubank isn't Froch. I don't see what some see in him. I fully expect Groves to win.
They've been doing this since the Blackwell fight, the narrative being is they are saving fighters from superman badly injuring them. The real reason Snr was telling Jnr to go to the body that night was because he didn't seem able to get Blackwell out of there with head shots. But the media never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Spot on.
The Eubanks want to create the narrative that Junior is some kind of unstoppable freight train.
Hence all the social media hype.
The reality is that without all the hype around him, Jnr would be considered a very average boxer.
He is a casuals wet dream.
How many times is this almost identical news story going to be posted? We’ve heard insults aimed at Dad, retirement, brain injuries....
I am not interested in any more hype until someone brings the other’s mama into the equation
LOL truth. I swear this is like the 3rd or 4th time seeing this same thing, just worded slightly different in the last couple of days
I think an angle thats being missed in a lot of how we should view the Eubank promotional material is their standing in the current boxing climate in the UK. They have burned many bridges, many hate them Jr and the brothers career is basically riding entirely on him winning this and them forcing relevancy otherwise they will be pushed out to the fringes of fighting no namers in the arsehole of nowhere. This is all or nothing for them at the minute - but yeah the coverage has gotten ****ing grim, and many of the videos this week for some reason have has **** audio and ifls mic has ****ing died or something. Only worthwhile **** this week is good ol Kalle.
Chris Eubank Jr is quickly proving himself to be among the most delusional and immature fighter in the sport. Hearing him predict & warn that he is going to critically injure his opponent is becoming increasingly distasteful. I guess it's true when people say 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree'.
