Fight previews

UK promoter BOXXER stage their first Sky Sports card on Saturday night and Chris Eubank Jr is the headline act.

There's a big opportunity for Eubank in the middleweight division and he will no doubt be targeting a world title shot in the not too distant future.

Eubank has been set some difficult tasks in his career, having been in with Billy Joe Saunders, George Groves, Arthur Abraham and James DeGale. He was beaten by Groves and Saunders but not disgraced and at the age of 32 he should be entering his peak.

Anatoli Muratov has won 16 of his last 17 fights, but they have been low-key bouts and he has two defeats and a draw on a pretty mediocre card.

The German is likely to be in survival mode from the opening bell and on the evidence of his recent fights it doesn't look as though his defences will hold up.

Eubank isn't the type of character to ease up when dominating an inferior opponent and he is likely to push for the stoppage at the first opportunity.

Muratov has taken this fight on short notice so the preparation may not have been as precise as it would be in normal circumstances and Eubank can end this fight before the fourth round.
