Chris Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KO’s) has revealed that he is enticed by the idea of sharing the ring with pound-for-pound great Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford (42-0, 31 KO’s) in the near future.
However, he first must overcome his rematch bout with fellow Briton and long-time nemesis Conor Benn (23-1, 14 KO’s) - who will be chasing redemption come November 15.
Their first bout exceeded all expectations, continuing the incredible legacy forged by their fathers in the nineties. As we close in on the return leg, hopes are high that the pair can deliver an equally tantalising evening in London.
Although, the outspoken Briton already has one eye set on the future, revealing to Sky Sports that he would love the opportunity to test himself against ‘Bud’ should he find victory in just under two months' time.
“Anything can be made. It doesn't matter how unbelievable or fantastic a fight can be that you think will never happen, anything can be made,” Eubuank revealed.
Asked whether his relationship with Crawford’s trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre would complicate things, Eubank stressed that having shared the same trainer shouldn't negatively affect future fight prospects.
"I wouldn't say so," he revealed.. "I said after the fight, I'd love to share the ring with Terence. He's seen as one of the pound-for-pound greats in the sport right now.
“I'm here to fight the big names. A fight with him, a fight with Canelo, I would love to share the ring with these guys."
Eubank continued, stressing that despite the Mexican’s recent loss, he is still a huge draw and an extremely appealing option for the future.
"He's still a superstar. He's still probably the biggest name in the sport, even though he lost. So for sure I'd love to fight him," Eubank said.
Continuing on the theme of fighting all-time greats, Eubanks is open to a bout against Gennady Golovkin.
Canelo’s former dance partner recently teased to Boxing Scene that he is considering making a ring return following his involvement in the amateur scene.
“Why not? He's a legend in the sport. If the fans wanted to see a fight like that, I don't know if they do, but if they did, absolutely”
