Chris Eubank Jr. Wants Canelo Alvarez Fight but Faces Challenges

Chris Eubank Jr. has expressed the need for increased activity in his boxing career to prepare for a potential fight against Canelo Alvarez. The Brighton-born boxer, son of a two-weight world champion, recently returned to the UK to discuss his new promotional deal with Boxxer. However, critics question Eubank's commitment to staying active, as he has not fought since avenging his loss to Liam Smith nearly a year ago. At 34 years old, Eubank's lifestyle choices have raised eyebrows, with reports of him prioritizing poker and nightlife in Las Vegas over regular training. While enjoying such a lifestyle may be appealing, it raises concerns about his readiness to compete at the highest level, especially against a formidable opponent like Alvarez. Despite his name recognition, Eubank Jr. has yet to match the in-ring brilliance of his father, leading to speculation about his potential if he were to dedicate himself more fully to the sport. Eubank Jr. maintains that he is committed to getting back into the ring and is eager to secure a lucrative fight with Canelo in May. His recent deal with Boxxer is seen as a step towards revitalizing his career. However, with time running out, the boxing community is keen to see whether Eubank can transform his intentions into action and prove himself worthy of a title shot.
