Chris Eubank Jr, with a record of 33-3, is emerging as the top contender to face Canelo Alvarez, the super-middleweight champion, potentially returning to the ring in September or October. Alvarez, holding a record of 61-2-2, is looking for his next opponent after defeating Jaime Munguia in his last fight. Eubank Jr's recent victory over Liam Smith has positioned him as a favorite for the bout, despite previous challenges to secure fights with top-tier opponents like Gennady Golovkin. While fans have called for Alvarez to face David Benavidez Jr, the Mexican boxer seems uninterested in that matchup, opting for a potentially lucrative fight with Eubank Jr instead.
