Chris Eubank Jr reveals the best punch he's thrown, and it came against a former Canelo Alvarez opponent

The Brighton man returns to the ring on DAZN.

Time is ticking for Chris Eubank Jr. 

On October 12, live on DAZN, he will end 13 months of inactivity when he faces Kamil Szeremeta on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's clash for the undisputed light heavyweight title in Riyadh. 

A win is paramount for Eubank Jr, who in the build-up to this fight has been calling out for a fight against some marquee names at middleweight and super middleweight, including unified 168lb champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

For Eubank Jr, a knockout performance will boost his chances of a major clash next year, but would any such a hit beat his own choice for the hardest punch he has ever thrown?

Speaking to DAZN, Eubank Jr recalled his fight with Avni Yildrim, who has also fought Alvarez, and explained why he believes the blow to secure the third knockout win seven years ago is his favourite. 

"My favourite power punch that I threw was against a man named Avni Yildrim in Germany," Eubank Jr said. 

"Knocked him down, knocked him out in the third round, I believe it was. That was my favourite punch."

When Yildrim faced Alvarez four years after being knocked out by Eubank Jr, he once again found himself on the canvas in the third round and then decided to retire on his stool during what was a memorable event at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.
