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.
A potential fight with Eubank Jr fires me up so much. I probably won't have any turkey for Christmas if I know that's on the horizon.
I'm a Channel 5 fighter and he's someone who loves the attention of the masses. A fight between us two on Channel 5 would give him maximum exposure and would do big ratings. It's a domestic blockbuster with a lot on the line. [Click Here To Read More]
