In life, opportunities may only come once, something that Chris Eubank Jr. might suffer, as he played hard to get to face Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
In light of this, Canelo’s team has closed the door on negotiations with the Briton, despite rumors in recent hours that they would be in talks for a fight next year in London.
What did Eddy Reynoso say about the Canelo vs Eubank fight?
“That information is totally false. Eubank had his chance to fight Canelo in September, and all he did was complicate the negotiations. So we will not contact him again for a future fight,” the Mexican fighter’s trainer told Dan Rafael.
This buries the words of Eubank Jr.’s manager, who recently claimed that they were in talks to hold a fight against Saul Alvarez.
Chris Eubank was out of tune on the Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard
On the other hand, the British boxer is not well regarded as an opponent for Canelo, since at 35 years of age, he showed a very low level in his most recent fight against Kamil Szeremeta on October 12 in the preliminary card of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol.
He got into the ring after 13 months without fighting, so he looked rusty, even though he won with a knockout in seven rounds. In addition, American fans do not recognize Eubank Jr. as a high-profile boxer, otherwise the criticism against the Mexican about his choice of ‘accessible fighters’ will continue.
Saul Alvarez made another successful defence of his WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight world titles, defeating Edgar Berlanga by unanimous decision, taking his record to 62-2-2 (39 KOs).
