Fight preview

Chris Eubank Jr makes his US debut at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and like Anthony Joshua a few months ago, he may be in for a rude awakening.

Eubank faces Matt Korobov, a wily veteran who is better than his record suggests.

Korobov has a loss and a draw in his last two fights, but both those results were harsh. A year ago Korobov lost on points to Jermall Charlo, who defends his world middleweight title against Dennis Hogan at the top of this card.

But Korobov pushed Charlo, who is regarded as one of the world's most talented fighters, all the way and many people think he deserved to win the decision.

It was a similar story in his next fight when Korobov was judged to have drawn with Immanuwel Aleem, prompting cries that he was robbed.

Eubank was horribly exposed in a defeat to George Groves last year and although he beat James DeGale on points in February, Chunky was a shadow of his former self and retired from boxing after the fight.

Korobov looks a value underdog.
