A quiet storm is brewing in Britain for Claressa Shields following Savannah Marshall’s thunderous demolition of previously-undefeated challenger Lolita Muzeya in tonight’s WBO Middleweight Championship defence.
British boxing legend Chris Eubank was mugged in London yesterday, in broad daylight, as the former WBO middleweight and WBO super-middleweight champ stepped out of a bank.
Chris Eubank vs Michael Watson II – a fight that will never be forgotten by all those fans who witnessed it, and a fight that forever changed the sport and its medical practices here in the UK.
They fought just once, back in November of 2014, and when they did fight, Billy Joe Saunders picked up a comprehensive decision win over Chris Eubank Jr, taking his unbeaten record in a British, Commonwealth, European middleweight title showdown.
Chris Eubank Jr has been calling for a big fight with Gennady Golovkin for the longest time. Eubank Jr is still calling for it, and he firmly believes the fight will be “epic” if it happens.
Chris Eubank Junior is celebrating right now. Having placed a bet on last night’s fight between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders, in which Eubank wagered on a stoppage win being scored by Canelo, he will now collect £10 grand of winnings (all of which Eubank says he will donate to a charity of his choice).
Chris Eubank has granted Piers Morgan an exclusive interview, during which the former WBO middleweight and super-middleweight champion talks in-depth about the tragic Michael Watson fight.
The fight that took place three long decades ago today, between genuinely fierce rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, was genuine must-see stuff.
On this day 27 years ago, 42,000 fight fans crammed inside a rocking Old Trafford in the heart of Manchester. The most intense British boxing rivalry of the decade was to be settled, as bitter super-middleweight rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank met in their hugely anticipated, three years in the making rematch.
Rewind to the summer of1990, and British fight fans were not too sure what to make of the 23-0 Chris Eubank.
