Eubank's bout canceled, opponent didn't pass medical

Chris Eubank Jr. (30-2, 22 KOs) will not appear at tonight's boxing event in London, where he was scheduled to fight Anatoly Muratov (24-2-1, 17 KOs). The Russian failed to pass his medical and the organizers couldn't find a replacement for him on such short notice.

The Brit was originally scheduled to face Sven Elbir today. But the German athlete tested positive for coronavirus a few days ago and was forced to withdraw from the event.

The main event of the evening in London will now be David Avanesian (27-3-1, 15 KOs) vs Liam Taylor (23-1-1, 11 KOs). The fighters will challenge the European welterweight title.
