Former boxing champion turned promoter Barry McGuigan has offered his advice to Chris Eubank Jr. The Irishman made a bold claim, saying Gennady Golovkin would be the best fight for the Englishman.

Eubank Jr has already expressed his desire to fight the Kazakh despite being in line to face WBA champion, Ryota Murata. This would undoubtedly be a tremendous fight and could put the Englishman back on the top of the sport.

Speaking to the Mirror, McGuigan said Eubank Jr had a better chance against ‘GGG’, Murata, and Charlo. However, he would struggle to beat Demetrius Andrade since he has to initiate attacks more often. Despite this, he said Golovkin would be the best of the lot.

“IBF king GGG is a good fight for him. He’s 38 years old now. No matter how good you are, after the number of fights he has had as an amateur and pro, he is not getting better,” said McGuigan.

He explained the significance of a fight with ‘GGG’ and said, “Victory over GGG opens the door to big unification bouts.”
