Given the nature of his father, it should come as no surprise that Chris Eubank Jr remains something of an enigma in the sport. Despite boasting a high profile and having previously fought stellar names like George Groves and Liam Smith, for example, he remains on the fringes of world level and has yet to win a major title. He has also been slow to build on the momentum created by his most recent victory over Liverpudlian Smith, despite being loosely linked to names like Canelo Alvarez and WBO middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly.Instead, he appears more likely to take on one of Hamzah Sheeraz or Ben Whittaker in the future, creating another intriguing British encounter where no belts are on the line. But which of this pair will do battle with Eubank, and can either beat a more experienced opponent in this class?When is Each Fighter Next in Action?Hamzah Sheeraz expressed his disappointment at not fighting Eubank Jr in Saudi on September 21st, after it was announced that he would do battle against Tyler Denny. Sheeraz is the pre-fight favourite to triumph here, and you can bet with crypto at 1win regardless of who you think will win.However, the European middleweight title will be on the line against Denny (19-2-3), who’s on a six-fight winning streak and the current EBU champion.As for Whittaker and Eubank Jr, they’re both in action on the same bill on October 12th, with the former taking on Liam Cameron and the latter fighting the unheralded Kamil Szeremeta at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.Interestingly, this would allow Whittaker and Eubank Jr to get up close and personal at the venue, generating significant hype and interest ahead of a potential bout in 2025.Why Whittaker May Get the Shot Ahead of SheerazIn addition to being on the same bill as Junior in October, Whittaker also has a 58 million-strong social media profile that has grown exponentially since a devastating knockout of Khalid Graidia at Wembley Arena.This guarantees that Eubank Jr and the ‘Surgeon’ will do excellent numbers if they do meet, while potentially creating a headline, pay-per-view bout that would be in demand across the globe.Whittaker’s brash style and showboating antics are also eye-catching to say the least, and the build-up to a fight against Eubank Jr could be just as explosive as the bout itself.Despite being a more reserved and less bombastic character, Sheeraz has amassed an impressive 20-0 record and is the current WBC Silver middleweight champion. He’s also ranked as the number one middleweight by the WBO and WBC, third by The Ring Magazine and fourth by the IBF.This would make Sheeraz a more obvious candidate to fight Eubank Jr and earn a world title shot, either at middleweight or super middleweight. However, much will depend on Junior’s future motivations and whether he’s serious about being crowned at world level, or simply wants to make lucrative fights and avoid the likes of Canelo.It can be argued that Sheeraz would be better advised to pursue a world title fight directly if he beats Denny, either against WBO champion Janibek Alimkhanuly or WBC belt holder Carlos Adames. Money talks, however, as do bragging rights and the lure of a high-profile British encounter.
