Chris Eubank Jr has played the word association game with some of boxing's biggest names
Chris Eubank Jr has revealed his thoughts on some of boxing’s all-time greats and its current crop of stars in a new video interview with talkSPORT.
In a short clip taken from the full exclusive interview, Eubank Jr is asked to say the first word that comes to mind when host James Savundra reads out a list of other fighters’ names.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he describes Liam Williams, who he’s set to go head-to-head with in Cardiff on Saturday, as a "dead-man walking."
He also used the opportunity to take a shot at former WBO middleweight and super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders, who famously scored a split-decision win over Eubank Jr back in 2014, describing him as a “fraud.”
Next Gen also dishes out a fair amount of praise during the clip, describing his father Chris Eubank as a “mentor”, former middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr as a “genius” and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez as “the face of boxing at the moment.”
He goes on to describe Floyd Mayweather as a “master tactician,” Jake Paul as a “maverick” and Tyson Fury as “the entertainer of the heavyweight world."
Take a look at the full clip down below.
