Comments Thread For: Blackwell: A Fight With Chris Eubank Jr. Fires Me Up!

LONDON - Avoided middleweight contender Nick Blackwell has promised to skip turkey and Christmas dinner altogether this year if a fight against Chris Eubank Jr can be made for 2015.

The Trowbridge man is currently mandatory challenger for Billy Joe Saunders' British title, but expects the champion to vacate the belt in the coming weeks. This, he believes, will then pave the way for a clash against Eubank Jr in the new year.

“A British title fight with Eubank Jr is the fight I want more than any other,” said Blackwell. “He's got the big name behind him – thanks to his father – and the public will want to see him in a good domestic fight again. They don't want to see him go back to fighting journeymen.

John Ryder & Mark Heffron are both in the equation here as well!

this guy is tough but lacks some speed and intensity, he'd probably do better at light middle and being a back foot guy, he should target brian rose.

This would be a good fight, I got Eubank. Think Blackwell might be underestimating how much Eubank has improved since their spars a few yrs back.

I was thinking Chris would fight O'Sullivan next, but Blackwell's not a bad fight after Saunders. Plenty of domestic options for Eubank at the moment.
