Background

Chris Eubank’s stint into the amateurs saw him have a total of twenty-six fights with only two recorded losses. During his short career he operated in the United States, and he participated in several US competitions including the Golden Gloves which he managed to win in 2007. He turned pro in 2011.

Accomplishments

Eubank debuted as a Super Middleweight and he became a decent prospect while he went on an unbeaten streak. In 2014 – after stepping down to Middleweight – he met Billy Joe Saundes in a domestic match-up between two potential future world champions; Saunders was the better man in that fight and came away with the British, Commonwealth and European titles.

Eubank Jr. got back on track immediately with a interim world title (WBA) win in his very next match in 2015. After another couple of matches of solid performances, Eubanks fought for the British title once again and this time won it through a stoppage victory late in the fight.

The next year in 2017 Eubank moved up again and won the IBO Super Middleweight title. His title victory enabled him to participate in the World Boxing Super Series, and he did decently well by managing to make it to the semi-finals where he lost to eventual finalist George Groves.

Eubank found himself moving up rapidly up the rankings in the next couple of years as he beat opponents such as James DeGale and Matt Korobov in 2019, winning both the IBO and WBA (interim) world titles in back-to-back fights. 

Eubank Jr. continued his winning form in 2021 and 2022, also scoring a comprehensive UD victory over Liam Williams in the latter year.

On January 21 in 2023, Eubank Jr. faced Liam Smith in a TKO loss in just the fourth round, netting his third overall career loss, and his first by stoppage or a knockout.

He re-matched with Smith on September 2nd and came out on top this time around, avenging his previous stoppage loss with a stoppage win of his own in the 10th round.

Boxing Style

chris eubank jr boxing style

During the majority of his career, Eubank adopted a hard-hitting puncher style of boxing that while making him an offensive juggernatur also limited his defensive skills. He’s known to use a high-intensity and fast-paced during his fights, but has most recently tempered his style by going back to the basics and relearning them before improving them. As a result he’s become a better boxer overall, being now capable of applying better footwork, movement and strategies in his bouts.
