‘Eubank Jr Is Making a Big Mistake Overlooking Me’ says Tony Jeter

10/23/201510/22/2015 Olly Campbell

Make no mistake about it, 39 year old American fringe middleweight Tony Jeter, is being brought in as cannon-fodder when he fights Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday night in Sheffield, but claims that the young contender’s handlers at Matchroom have made a big mistake in overlooking him.

Jeter comes in sporting a modest (20-4-1, 14ko) record that includes a good deal of limited opposition [his last two opponents have 30 losses between them], yet says he has been in a similar position to this fight before; in 2012 when he was brought in as the ‘opponent’ for countryman Jimmy Lange (then 38-4-2); who, like Eubank, had already announced his next fight.

‘O’Sullivan Doesn’t Really Want to Fight Me’ says Eubank Jr

10/21/201510/21/2015 Olly Campbell

Chris Eubank Jr has been receiving a lot of media attention this week in the UK, particularly over comments from his father suggesting he beats Gennady Golovkin, yet the Brighton man has finally turned his attention back to reality, issuing a warning to his December opponent, Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan.

Eubank first fights unheralded American, Tony Jeter, on Saturday night in Sheffield -in what should present as nothing but routine business – before moving on to the Irishman on the Anthony Joshua/Dillian Whyte bill in London.

‘Eubank Jr Can Win a World Title’ says Darren Barker

10/19/201510/19/2015 Olly Campbell

Former IBF middleweight champion, Darren Barker, has tipped Chris Eubank Jr to go on and win a world title in the none too distant future.

Eubank makes his debut under the Matchroom Sport promotional banner on Saturday night when he faces unheralded American, Tony Jeter, topping a lukewarm bill in Sheffield by default thanks to Kell Brook pulling out of his IBF welterweight fight with Diego Chaves due to [an un-provable] rib injury.

Eubank Jr. ‘GGG Has Weaknesses I Can Exploit’

10/15/201510/15/2015 Olly Campbell

There is no doubting that Chris Eubank Jr is a top up and coming fighter at 160, and with a couple more good wins can begin chasing serious titles in the division, although his father – now known simply as ‘English’ to avoid confusion, seemingly isn’t helping matters by again insisting, ‘he beats Golovkin now!’

Eubank makes both his Sky Sports and Matchroom promotional debut on October 24 against unheralded American, Tony Jeter, with a 2nd outing on the December 12 London card that is topped by the Anthony Joshua/Dillian Whyte heavyweight clash, and is facing a constant barrage of criticism that his father is at times hindering – rather than helping – his career.

Chris Eubank Jr Gets Tony Jeter for Matchroom Debut on Brook/Chaves Card

10/05/201510/03/2015 Olly Campbell

Chris Eubank Jr (19-1, 14ko) will face 39 year old American, Tony Jeter (20-4-1, 14ko) on his debut under the Matchroom Sport promotional banner, serving as the chief support to October 24th’s Kell Brook/Diego Chaves welterweight title fight in Sheffield, that as it stands, is still a PPV event.

WBA (interim) titlist Eubank, was unveiled by Eddie Hearn’s promotional outfit a week ago and fans were promised a top 15 opponent, which the largely unheralded Jeter technically is, at WBA #13.

New Matchroom Sport signing Chris Eubank Jr (19-1, 14ko) has stated that the lightly regarded Interim WBA middleweight title he won back in February is merely just the beginning of what he is envisioning as a rich, world championship winning career.

Eubank will make his debut under the Matchroom banner on the October 24th Kell Brook/Diego Chaves card in Sheffield against a TBA opponent that promoter Eddie Hearn claims will be “top 15.”

Chris Eubank Jr Called Out Once Again by Spike O’Sullivan

British middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr (19-1, 14ko) and Ireland’s Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (21-1, 14ko)have re-ignited their public feud through a series of social media exchanges that began when Eubank posted a sarcastic, veiled and somewhat patronising message aimed at O’Sullivan’s team mate Frank Buglioni, who lost his WBA (reg) 168 lb title challenge to Fedor Chudinov in London last night.

Yesterday afternoon the Brighton fighter, who this week signed with British promotional heavyweights Matchroom Sport, tweeted;

Matchroom Sign Chris Eubank Jr. / Boxing in October and December

For a week or so now, it’s been something of an open secret in boxing circles that interim WBA middleweight titlist Chris Eubank Jr will be signing with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport.

The news became official today with the ‘unveiling’ of the British legend’s son at a press conference in London, announcing that he will indeed box on both the October 24th Brook v Chaves bill in Sheffield, as well as making a second outing in December on the Joshua/Whyte card at the O2 as part of an initial 3-fight deal.

All Quiet on the Eubank Front / Won’t Fight Spike O’Sullivan on the Lee/Saunders Undercard / Katie Taylor Added

08/01/201507/31/2015 Olly Campbell

There is still no word from Britain’s WBA (interim) middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr (19-1, 14ko) regarding his next move, with February’s win over Russia’s Dmitry Chudinov the last time the Brighton based fighter stepped between the ropes.

A mooted rematch with bitter rival Billy Joe Saunders fell through earlier this year, with the Hatfield southpaw finally securing his mandatory challenge to Andy Lee’s WBO title for September, and a potential fight for Eubank on the undercard against Irishman Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan (21-1, 14ko) is now also not going to happen.
