Two days ago Chris Eubank Jr. (30-2, 22 KOs) announced his far-reaching plans. The Briton, who is now a mandatory WBA middleweight contender, is targeting two world champions - Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) and Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs).
According to the son of one of the most popular British boxers of 90's, the team of the fighter from Kazakhstan already contacted him about the possible meeting. According to the 31-year-old, the encounter would be a very big deal in the boxing world due to the styles of both boxers. "They are interested in this fight, they have already contacted us," Eubank Jr. told Sky Sports. "They have shown interest, so if I can get the championship belt, it won't be difficult to negotiate this duel.
"He's the world champion, I'm the number one contender. I'm the most entertaining boxer in the middleweight division, the boxer the audience wants to see fight against the toughest opponents, so it has to be that way. I've been dreaming about it for years and I know how to achieve it. I just need a chance and I'm going to get it. Given our styles, it's going to be an epic fight, no less. He doesn't think much about defense, and I love to attack all the time. If you put those two styles together, fans will get a great duel," said Eubank, who will face Sven Elbir(18-1, 14 KOs) in early October before he can fight any of the big middleweight names.
