It’s going to be war on Saturday night when Chris Eubank Jr faces Nick Blackwell.
Eubank Jr is as ruthless as his old man was. You only had to watch his brutal demolition of brave Spike O’Sullivan to see that nasty streak as he tried to take his head off with every shot.
But now the British prospect is facing one of the toughest fights of his life in British middleweight champion Nick Blackwell.
Eubank Jr is big favourite to win at Wembley – but Blackwell is going to take the fight to the trenches.
The hardy 25-year-old, who once fought two men on the same night, told JOE he sees some serious chinks in the Eubank armour and he’s going to be relentless in attacking him.
There has been some real bad blood between the pair in the run up to the bout. It’s a fight that you really don’t want to miss.
The middleweight title fight at Wembley Arena will be shown live on Channel 5 around 10.30pm, with coverage starting at 9pm.
The undercard has an interesting bout with heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury’s cousin Hughie Fury, who is also unbeaten, taking on heavyweight Dominick Guinn over 12 rounds.
The pick of the undercard will be televised live and exclusively in the UK on Spike from 7.30pm.
