Consequently, he has put on some consistent performances over the years and has overcome umpteen adversities to carve his best version inside the ring. However, as he isn’t truly satisfied with his stint, he wants to face the likes of Gennady Golovkin.

Eubank Jr. has expressed his interest in fighting Golovkin many times, but he has been pretty unfortunate in the same. Recently, in an exclusive interaction with Sky Sports Boxing, the 31-year-old asserted whether ‘GGG’ is still on his hit list.

Every active middleweight contender has a strong aspiration to test himself against the stout Golovkin. This is because the Kazakh boxer takes his opponents into deep waters and tests them. Accordingly, fighters have to come in with their absolute best plans to tackle ‘GGG’.

It’ll be exciting to see if this fight comes to life by the first half of 2022.
