Eubank–Benn Winner Could Get a Shot at Canelo

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has revealed that the winner of the upcoming bout between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn could be in line for a high-stakes showdown against Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez.

“Both fighters are ranked and have held strong positions for years. They’re among the best in the sport. A title fight is absolutely possible.

No doubt about it. Canelo is entering a new phase of his career. He’s fighting in Riyadh and then has a bout scheduled in Las Vegas — and the winner this Saturday will definitely become a major player in global boxing,” said Sulaiman.

The middleweight clash between Eubank Jr. and Benn is set for April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Full stats and analysis of the matchup are available via RTFight here.
