Eubank: I can’t find partners

- BY TOM HOPKINSON

CHRIS EUBANK JR is struggling for sparring partners as prepares to face Arthur Abraham.

His main pad-man, Anthony Brown, is barely around the gym as he recovers from a serious motorbike accident.

But the 27-year-old still expects to beat former two-time supermiddl­eweight world champion Abraham at Wembley on July 15.

And then he would love to put his IBO world supermiddl­eweight crown on the line against WBA title holder George Groves.

Eubank said: “Beating Abraham will put me in a position where other fighters can’t really say no to me. Groves knows I want the fight. He’s a world champion now, so he needs to act accordingl­y.

“Give the public what they want, which is worldclass, domestic boxing.”
