Canelo vs Eubank Jr At Wembley Stadium Next Year?<\/h2>\n

Boxing fans could be treated to a blockbuster fight next year between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez<\/a> and Chris Eubank Jr<\/a>, reveals promoter Ben Shalom.<\/p>\n

Chris Eubank Jr<\/a>, one of the biggest names in British boxing<\/a>, was reportedly offered the ‘Canelo’ fight earlier this year, but turned it down due to ring inactivity and not wanting to face the best fighter in the super-middleweight division after a prolonged period of absence.<\/p>\n

However, talks have reported restarted between both parties for a potential fight in 2025. Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom, who signed ‘Next Gen’ to his stable of fighters a matter of months ago, has stated his desire to make the Canelo vs Eubank Jr super-fight in the UK next year.<\/p>\n

It would have seemed extremely unrealistic to have ‘Canelo<\/a>‘ fight anywhere outside of Mexico or the US not so long ago, but times are changing now. With the involvement of\u00a0His Excellency Turki Alalshikh<\/a> , the thought of a Canelo vs Eubank Jr fight going down in the UK isn’t totally beyond the realms of possibility.<\/p>\n

In fact, it seems the fight could be made fairly easily for 2025. If so, it would likely head to a big stadium with tens of thousands of fans in attendance. Where better than Wembley Stadium to host the Canelo vs Eubank Jr super-fight if it does get made?<\/p>\n
