Eubank Jr heads to Yorkshire

Middleweight prospect Chris Eubank Jr heads to Yorkshire on Saturday 18th February when he boxes on the undercard of Jason Booth v Kid Galahad at Rotherham's Magna Centre.

The Hennessy Promotions bill is likely to be showcased on terrestrial broadcaster Channel 5, though no official announcement has yet been made.

22 year-old Eubank - son of British fight legend Chris - made an impressive debut on the channel in November when he halted Lithuanian Kirilas Psonko in the fourth round.

Given the huge shadow cast by his popular father and the positive gym stories surrounding the youngster, an eye will be kept on him by many a fight fan.

This has not gone unnoticed by the bosses at C5 who were keen that Mick Hennessy strike a deal with Eubank Jr.
