If it is Eubank Jnr, then I expect his WBA interim title to be involved somewhere. With the view to then go after Daniel Jacobs, as was initially planned for Macklin.

Monroe Jnr maybe?

Just because its chief support doesn't mean it won't be an awful one sided affair with Matchroom the big name of Eubank Jr alone would be enough for chief support slot. Wasn't the last Martin Murray fight chief support on the Leeds bill? Especially when in reality Brook v Chaves is chief support itself.

I agree that could be the case on a standard Saturday night sky card a la Murray on the Leeds bill, although that was a 12 round WBA ranking fight against an opponent who was 31-6 and had gone 7 with Lemieux.

But if you look at the last few PPV's the undercard has always had top chief support fights. The most recent Brook-Gavin card being a prime example with Selby and Mitchell being in 50-50 world title fights.

I am not saying it will be a world rated opponent who we all rate as top 25-30 in the division because it is a shared PPV and the budget will therefore be lower. But, I do think it will be a decent scrap, and not an 8 round journeyman scrap.

.....it also has to usurp a European title fight as chief support, I know chief support isn't merited in this way but the point still stands.

I'm guessing -
Eubank Jr Vs. O'sullivan on Brook/Chaves in October.
Then -
Eubank Jr Vs. Heiland on Joshua/Whyte in December.

I like your optimism but somehow doubt it

Ed's a great lad I really miss his bits from Ringside (main reason I watched) but he works for Sky I'd be very surprised to see him say anything different
