Chris Eubank Jr. Set to Face Kamil Szeremeta for IBO Middleweight World Championship
British boxer Chris Eubank Jr. is gearing up for a significant fight as he prepares to face Kamil Szeremeta for the IBO Middleweight World Championship. The bout is scheduled to take place in the Great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on October 12, 2024. Eubank Jr. announced the fight on his social media, expressing his readiness to step into the ring after a year-long hiatus.
This fight marks Eubank Jr.’s return to the ring after contractual issues and a period of inactivity. Analysts and fans are speculating about the outcome, with some predicting a stoppage victory for Eubank Jr. given Szeremeta’s history of being stopped by top-level opponents. However, there is also a possibility that Eubank Jr. might choose to carry Szeremeta through the rounds to gain more match experience and become match-fit after his long break.
In addition to his upcoming fight, Eubank Jr. has been involved in other notable interactions within the boxing community. Recently, he had a public clash with rival Conor Benn at a fighter hotel, leading to some heated exchanges between the two boxers. Eubank Jr. labeled Benn as “a little insect coward” and hinted that Benn could be his next opponent.
Looking ahead, Eubank Jr. has expressed ambitions to be involved in big, high-profile fights. He has mentioned potential bouts against fighters like Gennadiy Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez, and there is speculation about a possible fight against Conor Benn in 2025. These fights would align with his goal of being on major pay-per-view events and securing significant financial rewards.
