CHIN-CHIN! EUBANK JR PROMISES YILDIRIM SIX OF THE BEST IN STUTTGART!

The battle for the inaugural 168lb (76,2 kg) Muhammad Ali Trophy comes to Stuttgart, Germany on October 7th  when Chris Eubank Jr. (25-1-0, 19 KOs) fights WBC International champion, Turkish Avni Yildirim (16-0, 10 KOs) in a quarter-final bout at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle.

“The Muhammad Ali Trophy is a great idea and I am thrilled to be a part of the World Boxing Super Series,” said 27-year old Eubank Jr, adding:  “I don’t mind about fighting in Germany. I honestly don’t mind where I fight. It really doesn’t matter to me as long as I get the win as that’s all I care about.  Yildirim’s chin hasn’t been tested, so I will test it to the absolute limit and if it has even the slightest bit of weakness he won’t last six rounds,” said Eubank Jr.

26-year old Avni Yildirim from Istanbul, Turkey is excited about fighting in Stuttgart: “I am very happy that the fight is in Stuttgart because for me it is like a second Turkey,” said Yildirim. “Training is going great, I know what I have to do. I have been training really hard already, I am fully focused on this. Chris should be too.”

Ticket details for the World Boxing Super Series’ quarter-final bout between Chris Eubank Jr. and Avni Yildirim at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer Halle in Stuttgart will be announced shortly.
