LONDON - Avoided middleweight Nick Blackwell will be able to watch the upcoming British, Commonwealth and European title fight between Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank safe in the knowledge that he will be next in line to face the winner.

Saunders and Eubank Jr clash on November 29 at the ExCeL Arena and Blackwell, the mandatory challenger for the British title, has been guaranteed a shot at the pretigious Lonsdale belt in the very near future.

“In addition to step-aside money, the British Boxing Board of Control have guaranteed that I'll fight the winner of Saunders-Eubank Jr within 90 days,” he said. “If the winner doesn't fight me, they will be forced to vacate the belt and I will be in pole position to fight for the vacant title.

People wanted Eubank to step up, not neccesarily against BJS, but BJS is just probably a name people knew about, as he was up and coming just like Eubanks. I only knew of BJS because I saw him in Olympic games.

But Blackwell would have been a perfect opponent for Eubanks before fighting BJS.
