Chris Eubank Jr. joined the list of possible candidates for the return of Sa�l 'Canelo' �lvarez in September and is now the favorite to challenge the man from Guadalajara for his super middleweight belts, according to reports.
On social media, a few insiders are certain that Eubank Jr. and Canelo �lvarez could close the agreement very soon, so Edgar Berlanga, David Benav�dez and Jermall Charlo would remain completely out of the picture at least for this year as possible rivals of the Mexican boxer.
"The British Chris Eubank Jr. joined the list of possible rivals for Canelo and is now the favorite to close an agreement. He was world middleweight champion and has a record of 33-3 with 24 KOs. He has just knocked out Liam Smith, a former victim of the Jalisco, in revenge," said Salvador Rodr�guez from ESPN said on his X account, formerly known as Twitter.
This will change his plans and many believe it won't affect him
After Canelo �lvarez reached an agreement with his mandatory challenger William Scull in order to keep his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt, Edgar Berlanga and David Benav�dez, both mandatory challengers as well, were the strongest options for their second duel of 2024, but apparently this has changed.
A few days ago, Rodr�guez reported that the Puerto Rican Berlanga was the one who had the best chance of being chosen by Canelo �lvarez and that Jermall Charlo was also in the plans. In addition, he indicated that, although the date that the man from Guadalajara wants is September 14 because it is Mexican Independence Day, the fight could be postponed a few weeks.
Chris Eubank Jr. in his last fight in the ring knocked out Liam Smith in the tenth round in the rematch held in September 2023 at the Manchester Arena, England.
