The Charismatic Chris Eubank jr looks to be the second British boxer to book his place in the Super Series tournament this weekend when he faces undefeated Turk Avni Yildirim in Stuttgart. He could join Liverpool’s Callum Smith who had to work hard in his hometown last month to fend off a tough challenge from Swedens Erik Skoglund, to progress to the semi-final of the lucrative Super Middleweight competition.
Eubank is very confident he can beat Yildirim in emphatic fashion and thinks the big challenge in the tournament for him is WBA Champion George Groves, who himself fights Swindon’s Jamie Cox in his quarterfinal in an excellent domestic showdown at Londons Wembley Arena on October 14th.
