Sorry if tgis has been discussed however does anyone know what the deal is with Eubank JR ?
Seems to have had a very slow year for a novice "prospect"

He has lost absolutely all of his momentum. Isn't injured and is still a Hennessey fighter so I don't know why. Has BJS's opponent been announced for his next fight?

Cant see him taking the BJS fight yet as he has already turned down an eliminator with Blackwell twice
makes you wonder what the deal is maybe its about the money he ia being offered, as I am sure SNR will be looking at that side with a keen eye.
And imo he has some talent but needs to have the time and right variety of opponents to bring him on It is unfortunate tyat many use his fathers acheivements as a yard stick especially at this early stage.
Did I see somewhere on another post that hearn mentioned signing a middleweight ?
Also Peter Fury had mentioned a new addition to team fury soon I know they are with Hennessy but maybe its a training issue that has kept him inactive ?

Oh I see now , sorry.
So Im guessing that the switch and then ending up in a 4 rounder left you out of pocket ?
Unfortunatley boxing is a business and its not always about how well you can fight .....
