Canelo Alvarez’s supervisor and coach, Eddy Reynoso, has shot down the rumors that he’s in negotiations to struggle Chris Eubank Jr. subsequent. Reynoso says it’s NOT taking place.
Reynoso states that they tried to barter a struggle with the 35-year-old Eubank Jr. for September, however he difficult the negotiations. So, as an alternative, they moved on, and there will likely be no extra makes an attempt to arrange a struggle towards Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KOs).
That is excellent news for a lot of followers who had little interest in paying to see Canelo obliterate the getting older, unproven career-underachiever, who is actually a domestic-level fighter with no wins towards world-class opposition on his 37-fight resume.
Eubank Jr’s supervisor, Ben Shalom, excited British followers this week when he mentioned in an interview that he was in talks with Canelo’s staff to make a struggle. He felt it will be an enormous one that would happen at Wembley. What he didn’t say was how lengthy it had been since he spoke to Canelo’s staff.
If he was speaking about negotiations that occurred two to 3 months in the past earlier than his final struggle towards New Yorker Edgar Berlanga on September 14th, it’s unusual that he would discuss it now, making it sound like this was a recent factor quite than historical historical past.
“It’s completely false. Eubank had his probability to struggle Canelo in September and the one factor he did was complicate the negotiations,” mentioned Eddy Reynoso to Dan Rafael’s substack website, ruling out a struggle between Canelo Alvarez and the British fighter, Chris Eubank Jr.
“We is not going to contact base with him once more for a future struggle. No matter I inform you is at all times true. I don’t like making statements, however what I declare is true.”
It’s good that Reynoso says that he’ll “Not contact base with” Eubank Jr. once more as a result of boxing followers need Canelo to struggle true world-class fighters, not getting older domestic-level fighters like Eubank Jr who convey nothing to the desk by way of expertise or fan curiosity from the U.S audiences.
We noticed the factor failed negotiations again in 2016 when Eubank Jr. was in talks for a struggle towards Gennadiy Golovkin. When the talks dragged on and on, promoter Eddie Hearn provided the Golovkin struggle to Kell Brook, and hie snatched it up. In fact, it didn’t finish nicely for Brook, however he received an enormous payday out of the struggle, which might have gone to Eubank Jr. if he hadn’t dragged out the negotiations.
