Chris Eubank Junior

First topic message reminder :

May have been posted before but he's signed with Hennessy and makes his pro debut on the undercard of the Fury fight this Saturday. Fairly bold statements coming from Fat Mick:

“We are delighted to have signed such a major talent. There was a lot of competition for his signature, not only from other promoters but other broadcasters as well. We believe that Chris Eubank Jnr has the potential to not only become an elite world champion but also transcend boxing and become a major world star on route to the titles.”

“I honestly already believe he is the best middleweight in this country even without (having) a pro fight."

Unfortunately it doesn't look as if Channel 5 will be showing the fight which is a shame.

Yeah he seems bright enough, ''what better place to do it than channel 5'' wouldn't have done him any harm with the station.

Only criticism Id make is that he didn't seem to know what to do to break his opponent's defence open more, although that comment can itself be countered by the fact that he didn't need to try any harder, he was dominating so much already. Early days though, but he'll be interesting to keep an eye on.
