Chris Eubank Jr has said that, he is ever ready to be in the ring as a potential opponent for Canelo Alvarez to fight on September 12. The former IBO super-middleweight champion Eubank Jr (29-2, 22 KOs) joins the growing list of top fighters from the 168-pound division that are volunteering to face the Mexican star Canelo for his next fight.
For the fans that might not be excited about seeing Canelo face Eubank Jr, they’ve got to realize the alternatives are much worse. If Canelo doesn’t fight Eubank Jr, then he’ll likely end up with John Ryder or David Lemieux. Those would be one-sided fights for Canelo against those two guys.
The lead guy for the Canelo fight, Billy Joe Saunders, has pulled his name off the list after complaining about not wanting to take a reduced offer. Saunders also said that there wasn’t enough time for him to train for the Canelo fight with two months to go.
