Chris Eubank Jr vs. Anatoli Muratov

The SSE Arena, Wembley, England 2/10/21

WBA #7 Anatoli Muratov (24-2-1, 17 KOs) replaces Sven Elbir as the opponent for Chris Eubank Jr (30-2, 22 KOs) on October 2 at The SSE Arena, Wembley, after Elbir tested positive for Covid-19.

The German-based Kazakh was on standby preparing for his bout on October 9 when he got the call to step in. The WBA world-ranked number 7 now has a golden opportunity to force his way into World Title contention.

Muratov is a former WBA Intercontinental Middleweight Champion and German Super Middleweight Champion. In his last 17 contests, he is undefeated and boasts an impressive KO record, with over 60% of his wins coming inside the distance.

The 33-year-old is well-traveled, having boxed away from home in Turkey, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, and the United States and in his native Germany throughout his 27-fight career.

“This is a fantastic moment for me,” said Muratov. “It will be an honor to fight at The SSE Arena, Wembley, and to test my skills against a boxer like Chris Eubank Jr. I’m jumping on this opportunity because that is what warriors do.

Anytime, anyplace, I am ready to fight anyone. I’m looking forward to an exciting fight and a great night of boxing in London. I’m coming to win, and I will give it my all.”

“The opponent has changed, but my objective remains the same,” says Eubank Jr. “October 2 is my night, and nothing is going to stand in my way!”

“First of all, I would like to wish Sven Elbir a speedy recovery,” said promoter Kalle Sauerland. “A change of opponent this close to a fight is never ideal, but I know Chris remains focused on what he needs to do on Saturday night.

“Muratov was on standby. He was in the gym preparing for a fight next week when the opportunity came. He is well known in Germany, and he is a serious contender. He is ranked number 7 globally by the WBA and will pose a different set of problems that Chris will need to be ready for.”

“It’s unfortunate for Elbir he has had to withdraw due to Covid, but the change of opponent to the World ranked Muratov will make the fight a more interesting one. Muratov comes into the fight after some impressive wins and is highly thought of in Germany, and he has been in training and is coming in to win,” said BOXXER’s Ben Shalom.

Chris Eubank Jr tops the bill at The SSE Arena, Wembley on October 2 against Anatoli Muratov, live on Sky Sports. Tickets are available via AXS.com.
