Chris Eubank Jnr vs TBA - DAZN PPV

Post by keithmoonhangover »

So, apparently Shalom deal with DAZN is a for two fights. One is Williamson-Simpson II and the other is CEJ's next fight, which will be DAZN PPV. The question is, who's he going to fight?

Ben keeps saying it’s a big name but I’ve no idea. Hope it’s 168 so he’s not totally drained if he is choosing to fight on.

Agreed. He's not the biggest guy at 168, but he was a barely walking corpse at 160 for the second Benn fight.

Edgar Berlanga, Liam Smith or William Scull?

Not bad options, but Berlanga is fighting Bulter on July26, while Scull has a bout against the dreaded TBA slated for July 3, and Smith hasn't fought since losing an uninspired UD at MW to McKenna on April 26, 2025.

If Eubank wants to remain relevant but face a decent SMW opponent, here are some considerations: Plantic, Bednarek, Zon, former champ Resendiz, and Silyagin. Unless he is completely shot, I think Eubank would be the favorite in each of these bouts. For some fights closer to 50-50, here are some candidates: Melikuziev, Sadjo, Ihosvany Garcia, and Nurmaganbet.

No I mean literally the other name is Kell Brook. That's the fight they're trying to put together as a dazn ppv

I like that match up, but Iglesias is the current IBO champion, and he's defended the title five times since winning it in December 2022. Eubank shouldn't go anywhere near the Cuban.

I think it’ll be Brook now you’ve mentioned it

Troy will be too dangerous for him

Joe Joyce and now Eubank, two fighters who really need to retire.

Apparently not

I'm just glad this mega fight is finally being made

Hundreds of threads on here over the years about how we desperately need to see Eubank Vs Brook

Ideally with nothing on the line as well. Just two names being randomly put together.

Honestly they should do it same night as Fury Joshua and blow that rival ppv out of the water.

Kell Brook, 40, has been retired for four years since beating Amir Khan, before which he hadn't fought since the 2020 loss to Terence Crawford.

This perfectly sets the stage for this MOUTHWATERING ppv BLOCKBUSTER clash with some guy from a different weight class who has never won a world title.

Berlanga is with Zuffa, so that's a firm no. Scull has zero name value, but Liam Smith is viable.

Michel Soro just won the IBO title, him vs Eubank would be fun but I think he wants a name at this point

Chris Eubank Jnr and PPV should no longer be in the same sentence, if they indeed should ever have been.

No it's literally Kell Brook mate. The approach has been made already
