# Chris Eubank Jr Promoter Responds To Claims That He Is A Free Agent

[Chris Eubank Jr is the second British fighter this week to announce he is a free agent,](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/anthony-yarde-career-decision-joshua-buatsi/) and his promoter has now responded to those claims.

Eubank hasn’t fought since back-to-back fights with Liam Smith. He lost the first one with his first ever knockout defeat, then won the return with a knockout of his own.

He has been linked with a fight with Conor Benn ever since they were set to meet in October 2022 before Benn failed two drug tests.

[He has since failed to get back his license to fight under the British Boxing Board of Control](https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/13018970/chris-eubank-jr-vs-conor-benn-british-boxing-board-of-control-wont-sanction-contest-for-february-3) but is constantly mentioned as an opponent for everyone from Terence Crawford to Billy Joe Saunders, who Eubank lost to way back in 2014.

[Speaking to Boxing Social,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd3SiKkuMEg&t=146s) Kalle Sauerland spoke abut Eubank recently suggesting he might be a free agent.

*“I’m not going to start doing my laundry out in public. Listen, we’re talking on a day-to-day basis about what’s out there. We’ve spoken 10 times this week and it’s only Thursday.*

*“We’ve been many years together so we’re trying to work out a good way moving forwards and that always revolves around fights cause they’re boxers, they want to fight.*

*“There are lots of options out there but it’s working out what is the right way. He’s at a critical part of his career so he’s got to make that right call.”*

Eubank has never won any of the four major world titles so winning a belt could well be his focus now with champions including Janibek Alimkhanuly one possible route.
