Chris Eubank Jr’s next fight takes place on Saturday, October 12th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, Eubank Jr’s next fight after that is a hot topic of conversation. So, who will Eubank’s next fight be against Conor Benn in early 2025 if he beats Kamil Szeremeta?
Chris Eubank Jr Next Fight: ‘Next Gen’ Faces Kamil Szeremeta On October 12th In Saudi Arabia
Although Chris Eubank Jr has a fight to worry about on October 12th in Saudi Arabia, boxing fans are already talking about Eubank’s next fight after that.
‘Next Gen’ faces Kamil Szeremeta on the next Riyadh Season card at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, but he is expected to win the fight with relative ease. If he does, fans will be quick to discuss who they want Eubank Jr to return to the ring against in early 2025.
Currently, Chris Eubank Jr’s record is an impressive 33-3, including 24 wins via knockout. Last time we saw Eubank in action was in his rematch with Liam Smith, where he outboxed and eventually stopped the Liverpudlian to settle their feud.
Now, Eubank Jr faces the 25-2-2 Polish fighter on His Excellency Turki Alalshikh‘s next Riyadh Season card. Szeremeta is a veteran, despite being a year younger than the Englishman. However, his record is nowhere near as strong as Eubank’s and Saturday is expected to be an easy night’s work for Eubank Jr.
It comes as no surprise that the best UK betting sites have Eubank Jr as an overriding favourite. However, Szeremeta has shared the ring with the likes of Gennady Golovkin and Jaime Munguia and will be confident of upsetting the apple cart.
Chris Eubank Jr’s next fight against Kamil Szeremeta takes place on October 12th, but who will ‘Next Gen’ fight next after that in early 2025?
Could Eubank Jr’s Next Fight Be Against Conor Benn?
Should Chris Eubank Jr’s next fight go his way on October 12th, rumours are that his next fight after that could be against bitter rival Conor Benn.
There have been several rumours coming to the surface that the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight could finally take place in 2025, provided ‘Next Gen’ comes though his next fight unscathed first.
If he does, then it looks like all roads lead to Eubank vs Benn next year. The pair were obviously meant to fight in October 2022, but the bout was cancelled due to Benn failing a performance enhancing drugs test.
Ever since then, the fight has continued to gather traction and it looks closer than ever for early 2025. The likely destination for Eubank Jr vs Benn looks like the UK or perhaps a Riyadh Season card in Saudi Arabia. UK boxing fans will want it to take place in Britain, at a big stadium such as the Principality or Wembley.
The best boxing betting sites in the UK would likely favour Chris Eubank Jr to win the fight, given his pedigree and the fact the fight would likely be at his natural weight of middleweight. Benn on the other hand is a natural welterweight, and would come up to 160-pounds purely just for the Eubank fight.
There is of course history there, with the two fighters fathers having shared the ring on two occasions in the early 1990s. Whether they like it or not, Eubank Jr and Conor Benn were born rivals, and will hopefully settle the family feud once and for all in 2025.
Lets hope Chris Eubank Jr’s next fight goes his way and boxing fans can finally see the Eubank Jr vs Benn fight in 2025.
