British super-middleweight and middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. is riding high in the pound for pound ranking, according to ‘Boxing’s Record Keepers’.
The Brighton man last fought in January. Eubank Jr. defeated UK rival James DeGale.
On the back of this, the 30 year-old is currently rated at number 19 with BoxRec.
A points system, which is compiled after each other contest, has Eubank Jr. on a tally of 612.9 – 60 plus above Tyson Fury.
Eubank Jr. is 32 ahead of Oleksandr Usyk. Anthony Joshua is a just few shy at bang on 604.
Considering the achievements of Fury, Joshua and Usyk of late, it’s quite a compliment for the two-time IBO champion.
In regards to Eubank’s immediate future, WBN understands a move back down to middleweight could be on the cards.
A possible world title shot is in the pipeline for 2020. All the current Premier Boxing Champions belt holders at 160 to 168 remain targets for Eubank in the future.
Canelo Alvarez leads the way as the BoxRec P4P number one. WBN’s current king Vasyl Lomachenko is third.
Terence Crawford, number two with BoxRec, can only claim the seven spot with WBN due to solitary victory over Amir Khan in 2019.
Juan Estrada, Mikey Garcia, Usyk and Fury are all hovering around the WBN Top 10.
Between them, the top stars can only command places in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s with the revamped website.
Estrada is 24 behind Joshua. While Usyk is four places above Fury at 27.
