Eubank Jr. calls out Groves

By Daily Sports on October 8, 2017

IBO super middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (26-1, 20 KOs) called out WBA 168 lb. champion George Groves, following his 3rd round knockout win over Avni Yildirim (16-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night in the World Boxing Super Series tournament.

Eubank said he is coming for Groves and imploring him not to lose his fight next Saturday night against Jamie Cox in the tournament.

Eubank Jr. will be fighting the winner of the Groves-Cox fight in the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series tournament.

Eubank Jr. made speedy work of Yildirim in stopping him in the 3rd round Saturday at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle, in Stuttgart, Germany. Yildirim backed Eubank Jr. up against the ropes in round 3. Eubank Jr. then unloaded with a storm of shots with his back against the ropes.

The referee stopped the fight as soon as Yildirim hit the canvas. But, some boxing fans felt it was a premature stoppage by the referee.

“I’m here to dominate the tournament,” said Eubank Jr. after his 3rd round knockout win over Yildirim on Saturday night in the World Boxing Super Series tournament.

“I’m sending a message out to everybody that I’m coming. George Groves, get through your next fight with Jamie Cox so we can give the British public and the world boxing fans what they want to see, which is me and you in January, and we’ll see what happens,” he said.
