Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Arthur Abraham in the works for July
The fight will reportedly take place in London
Eubank (24-1, 19 KO) and his erstwhile pen will be fighting for just the second time since trouncing Tom Doran last June. He made the jump to 168 in February with a tenth-round finish of Renold Quinlan, his sixteenth stoppage in his last seventeen fights.
Despite being nearly a full decade older than Eubank, Abraham (46-5, 30 KO) continues to chug along. He’s 10-1 since his loss to Robert Stieglitz in 2013 and has beaten Tim Lihaug and Robin Krasniqi since getting shut out by Gilberto Ramirez two Aprils ago.
It’s an interesting matchup; Eubank’s speed and volume should let him rack up points against the oft-sedentary Abraham, but the latter’s still got some sting in his hands and has the all-important “veteran savvy” to see him through.
