Wasserman Boxing has agreed a multi-fight deal with Boxxer to feature British boxing star Chris Eubank Jr and other fighters from the Wasserman Boxing stable on Sky Sports.
The first co-promoted event of this exciting new agreement will take place on October 2 with Chris Eubank Jr headlining at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London against German standout Sven Elbir, live and exclusive on Sky Sports.
“We’re delighted to have agreed a multi-fight deal with Boxxer to bring Chris Eubank Jr and the Wasserman Boxing stable to Sky Sports, which has been the home of UK boxing for the last decade. We look forward to working together to deliver some unforgettable nights for fight fans. We have big plans for Chris Eubank Jr. He’s ready for career defining fights but first he must overcome a tough test against Sven Elbir on October 2,” said Kalle Sauerland, Head of Global Boxing at Wasserman.
“It feels good to be back on Sky Sports and headlining another big show at The SSE Arena, Wembley,” said Chris Eubank Jr. “I’d like to thank my promoters the Sauerland brothers at Wasserman Boxing for the opportunity. My opponent Sven Elbir is a good fighter but if he thinks he can stand in my way – he’s wrong, and he will learn that the hard way. 2022 is going to be massive year for me. The middleweight division is on notice. The takeover begins on October 2.”
Wasserman COO of Global Football and Boxing, Fahri Ecvet said: “We’re thrilled to have reached an agreement that will enable Chris Eubank Jr and other top talent from the Wasserman Boxing stable to feature on Sky Sports. Chris is one of the most exciting names in world boxing right now. With many big fights on the horizon, we look forward to seeing him star on the Sky Sports platform very soon.”
“Chris Eubank Jr. is one of British boxing’s best talents and this is the first fight of his new multi-fight deal with Wasserman Boxing and Sky Sports. Elbir is very skilled, he’s got knockout power and he wants that big-name win. Major opportunities are on the line here – the winner will see their career taken to a new level,” said BOXXER’s Ben Shalom.
The deal features regular fight nights plus Pay Per View events and opportunities to showcase up and coming talent from Wasserman Boxing’s UK stable on Sky Sports.
