Chris Eubank Jr’s comeback is down to two names, and one of them was talking about a return himself this week.
Eubank’s manager Elliott Amoakoh told Boxing King Media that the shortlist is short.
80% chance that it is against either Kell Brook or Billy Joe Saunders. It is very warm, that list is very warm.
Saunders told talkSPORT days ago that he does not want to retire on a loss and that he does not see anyone around who would worry him. He has not fought since May 2021, when Canelo Alvarez caved in the right side of his face at the AT&T Stadium. Saunders had surgery the next day on an orbital bone broken in three places. He also beat Eubank on points in 2014, defending the British and European middleweight titles.
Brook teased earlier this month that he could take the fight, with December floated as a date. He has not boxed since February 2022.
Eubank is 36 and coming off a rematch loss to Conor Benn, whom he had beaten in April 2025. He was dropped twice in the final round of the return and heard the final bell with the series level. There were calls for him to retire afterward.
Nothing has been announced by any of the three.
