Eddie Hearn has offered his thoughts on a potential clash between Chris Eubank Jr and Kell Brook after exploring the possibility of promoting it himself.
The Matchroom boss revealed in September that he had held a meeting with Eubank, looking to sign the 37-year-old and promote his comeback fight.
Having not fought since November 2025, the Brit was seemingly open to such discussions but now looks likely to extend his relationship with Ben Shalom.
According to the Boxxer promoter, Hearn was interfering with an existing contract but, now, it seems Eubank has ‘agreed terms’ for a showdown with former world champion Brook.
Shalom claims the pair are set to collide in February, with Brook entering his first professional outing since scoring a sixth-round finish over Amir Khan in 2022.
Rather than fight a 40-year-old that has been inactive for four years, though, Hearn has told IFL TV that he would have preferred to see Eubank position himself for a world title shot at 168lbs.
“When I spoke to Eubank, he told me that was a fight that had been offered. And he said, ‘Would you be interested in looking at it?’
“So I had a conversation with Kell’s dad about it, and I was saying to him, ‘What’s the money? How much money would you want for it?’
“Now that I know the money that’s being offered to those guys, they [Boxxer] are going to do their absolute b***ocks on that fight.
“If I was Eubank, I’d be making a run at 168lbs properly, not fighting Kell Brook.”

Eubank had two middleweight encounters with Conor Benn in 2025, unanimously outpointing his rival before suffering a wide points defeat in their rematch.
