One of the key moments in Chris Eubank Jr.’s boxing career came on October 7, 2017, when he secured a victory over Avni Yıldırım in Germany. In the quarterfinals of the World Boxing Super Series, held in Stuttgart, Eubank knocked Yıldırım out in the third round, marking a significant turning point in his career and preparing him for bigger challenges ahead.
Recently, Eubank’s most notable bout was his rematch against Liam Smith in September 2023. In their first encounter, Smith had defeated Eubank by technical knockout. However, in the rematch, Eubank completely dominated Smith, reestablishing himself as a force to be reckoned with. With this victory, Eubank made it clear that he is a major threat to future opponents and declared his next goal to be a world championship title.
Eubank is currently gearing up for a fight against Kamil Szeremeta on the undercard of the highly anticipated Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol clash in Saudi Arabia. With this upcoming bout, Eubank aims to reaffirm his strength and continue his journey toward a world title. After his win against Smith, fans are eagerly awaiting his next performance.
Meanwhile, a potential boxing match between Eubank and UFC fighter Conor McGregor has also gained attention. McGregor previously stepped into the boxing ring in 2017 to face Floyd Mayweather, where he was defeated by technical knockout in the tenth round. However, this experience didn’t fully distance McGregor from the boxing world, and Eubank has stated that a matchup with McGregor would draw significant interest. Their recent appearance together on social media, accompanied by Eubank’s comment, “A hell of a weekend,” has further fueled speculation about the potential fight, although nothing is confirmed yet.
Eubank’s interaction with McGregor has caused quite a stir in both the boxing and UFC worlds. Based on McGregor’s previous experience in the ring, many believe that such a fight would generate massive interest, both in terms of sport and entertainment.
