Chris Eubank Jr. stepped up from middleweight to claim the IBO title at 168 pounds and open up the doors of possibility for future mega-fights. The 26 year-old, whose only loss came against world champion Billy Joe Saunders, wore down Renold Quinlan before scoring a late stoppage win. Eubank was forced to take some punches but ultimately had too much class for the Aussie and followed his famous father on the path to world glory.
Chris Eubank Jr. will not be classing himself as a super-middleweight should the Brighton man be victorious against Renold Quinlan in London tonight. The 27 year-old challenges for the IBO title at 168 pounds on his debut at the weight and says a move back down to middleweight can easily happen, dependent on the offers that come his way.
