Disappointed at missing out on the chance to face Matt Korobov for the vacant WBO middleweight title, 25-year-old former Olympian, Billy Joe Saunders (20-0, 11 KOs) will instead make a defense of his European middleweight title against fellow undefeated UK prospect, the 24-year-old Chris Eubank Jr. (17-0, 12 KOs).
Saunders-Eubank will now serve as the lead-in to Tyson Fury vs. Dereck Chisora, November 29 at the ExCel Arena in London.
Eubank is the son of legendary British fighter and former middleweight and super middleweight word champ, Chris Eubank.
