"Exciting Possibility: Chris Eubank Jnr Eyes Showdown with Erislandy Lara as Conor Benn Bout Hangs in the Balance"
Exciting news in the boxing world as promoter Ben Shalom drops hints about a potential showdown between Chris Eubank Jnr and WBA middleweight champ Erislandy Lara! The much-anticipated Eubank-Benn clash was derailed by unexpected PED test results, leaving fans disappointed. But fear not, as Conor Benn gears up for a comeback in 2025, paving the way for a potentially epic matchup with Eubank.
Shalom spilled the beans, saying, "That’s the fight that’s going to be made if Benn doesn’t get done. That’s the fight we’re looking at." With talks swirling around the Benn fight, Shalom hints at the tantalizing prospect of Eubank taking on Lara for a shot at the world title. Lara, a formidable opponent with an impressive record, poses a significant challenge and opportunity for Eubank.
"We’ve had preliminary talks for Lara, who is with PBC. It’s a fight I believe both of them want, and I believe it presents a massive opportunity," Shalom shared. Eubank's eagerness to step back in the ring could see this potential clash happening soon, possibly in London as early as March. The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation as we await confirmation on which direction this exciting matchup will take.
Lara, boasting a remarkable boxing record, last showcased his skills by stopping Danny Garcia in round nine back in September. As the plot thickens and negotiations continue, fans can only speculate on the fireworks that a Lara-Eubank showdown would bring to the ring.
