Big opportunities have come knocking.
Eubank Jr lost on points to Conor Benn in their rematch at middleweight last year but nearly killed himself to make the weight.
He’s moving on now surely to 168lbs.
Talk Sport in the UK a short time ago have claimed Eubank Jr has been offered the fight with Christian Mbilli for the WBC title at super-middleweight.
For those not familiar with him — some quick background:
- Christian Mbilli (WBC super-middleweight champion, 29-0-1, 24 KOs) is open to defending his title against Chris Eubank Jr.
- Mbilli called it a “big fight” and “fan-friendly” in interviews (e.g., with World Boxing News).
- WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed Eubank Jr can challenge for a world title at 168 lbs upon return, calling him a “tremendous” and “world-class” fighter.
- This follows Eubank Jr’s recent middleweight loss to Conor Benn (November 2025), after which his promoter plans a 168 lbs comeback once medically cleared.
- No fight is signed or dated yet—it’s an offered opportunity with champion and sanctioning body support.
- Mbilli was elevated to full WBC champ recently (after interim status and a draw vs. Lester Martinez).
- Other potential opponents for Mbilli include Canelo Alvarez, but Eubank Jr is positioned as a strong option.
To clarify, the fight is not confirmed yet but it is an option for Chris Eubank Jr.
His brand, followers and profile continue to get stronger and elevate all the time after those fights with Conor Benn.
The first one he in fact won only last year.
We said he wasn’t retiring or going anywhere and we were right again.
Offered a world title fight even.
An unbreakable man Chris Eubank Jr — what a result this is already for him in 2026.
