Chris Eubank Jr is ready to move up a weight to fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in an event he believes would fill the ‘biggest stadium’ in Britain.
The 31-year-old Briton next fights Sven Elbir on October 2 as he pushes for a world title fight, and he is set to be given a WBA middleweight mandatory fight before the end of 2021.
However Eubank Jr is also keen to take on Canelo, who fights in November to become the super middleweight undisputed champion when he fights IBF title holder Caleb Plant.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said of Canelo that: "He's the only one I would move up a weight again to fight and yeah, he is running out of guys to fight.
"Nobody wants to fight him and the guys that do want to fight him, [they] don't actually want to fight him.
"They want to get in the ring and survive and not get knocked out, and get their pay day.
"I don't care about any of that. I want to beat him. I want to fight fire with fire. The fans know that.
"That fight is definitely a fight that can happen, and I think next year, we'll be pushing hard for that."
"I mean who else is there? Beats Saunders, beats Callum Smith, there's nobody else.
"It would fill the biggest stadium."
Eubank doubts the seriousness with which Canelo vs. Plant is being treated, and believes he would be a credible name.
"It's not even a UK thing, it's a world thing," said Eubank Jr. "Who else in the world does everyone want to see fight Canelo? You've got Caleb Plant but there's all this politics.
"Nobody at middleweight is trying to fight him. Golovkin has fought him twice already.
"People want some new, fresh blood to get in there and test him and that's me."
