The Eubanks want a fight with Billy Joe Saunders or James DeGale
The 27-year-old, who won the lightly-regarded IBO title with a 10th-round stoppage of Australia’s Renold Quinlan in his first fight at super-middleweight on Saturday, plans to return to the gym today in preparation for what he hopes will be a busy year.
“We want to be back out as early as April,” said his father Eubank Snr. “If we can make this fight with James DeGale, that we shall do. By April we will be ready to go again.
“If he’s not ready by April, don’t worry we’ll wait. We will give him a few more weeks but there is no escape. We have been marinading him. I can smell it.

“They haven’t actually got back to me and so we are choosing James DeGale. We have seasoned him already.

“We’re calling you out. It’s not easy to avoid. When you’re a fighter you are compelled to fight when you are being called out. Otherwise you look like the one thing you have been fighting against all your life, which is appear to be a punk.”
Of DeGale, Eubank Jnr added: “I’ve sparred with the guy many years ago back before I was a pro and I dealt with him. I know what I can do to him. It’s a fight the public want to see and now we have the platform. Let’s do it.”
