According to sources, Chris Eubank Jr will make his US & PBC debut against Russian, Matt Korobov, later this year. Eubank appeared at 1# in the WBA's 160 rankings this month, so it could be a Final Eliminator for Ryota Murata's Regular belt [Source: @pugboxing / The Athletic] pic.twitter.com/UUdpxStB84

Ohhhh I like this fight a lot!
So back to 160 for Eubank? As he should.
Nice scrap. Korobov is a beast for the first half of the fight but in the last two fights, he's had a hard time holding on as he was badly hurt both times. -
Very nice matchup...I don't think Eubank is as bad as some think he is...and I don't think Korobov was as good vs Charlo/Aleem as others...interesting matchup this one, nice fightComment

damn thats some bold matchmaking, i thought they ducked John Ryder to fight vinny faiggenbutts or w/e the **** his name is. Ducking Ryder to fight an even more high risk / low reward fight? bizarre.
IF he does through korobov which he might not, i wanna see Eubank V Charlo.Comment

50/50 fight imo
Korobov can outbox Eubank and Eubank can KO KorobovComment

Great fight!
Showtime? FOX? PPV undercard? Anyone have any idea?Comment

Interesting. I could’ve sworn I say Eubank Jr. rated in the WBA below Ryder at 168 because I remember seeing him ranked in all 3 orgs at 168 except the WBO. Looks like he got ranked at 160 by design, only in the WBA. That’s newComment

Nice fight, even with Matvey probably edging well into the 'past prime' category. The dude's technically still one of the best around - now if he could just fix his stamina and chin...
Quite a bold move from Eubank having seen Matvey make Jermall look kinda inept at times, I imagine he's hoping relentlessness will carry him through here, cos he ain't winning this fight by outboxing Korobov.Comment

good fight, tricky southpaw
Perhaps a tune up for BJS?Comment
