Chris Eubank Junior will clash with middleweight star Billy Joe Saunders in one of the biggest all-British showdowns in recent years, promoter Frank Warren has confirmed.
Hatfield ace Saunders will defend his European title against Eubank Jr for the first time after claiming the belt with a stunning eighth round KO win over Italian Emanuele Blandamura in July.
Brighton fighter Eubank Jr and Saunders have traded insults for the last few years and will now finally get to settle their differences in the ring when they face each other on the card title ‘Bad Blood’, headlined by Dereck Chisora’s rematch with Tyson Fury at the ExCeL London on the new rescheduled date of Saturday November 29.
Promoter Warren said: "This is a fabulous fight between two undefeated British fighters and it has all the ingredients to be a thriller.
"Both men have wanted the fight and I’m delighted that it’s going to be on the same show as another big domestic feud between Chisora v Fury."
