EXCLUSIVE: Golovkin and Saunders on Chris Eubank Jnr's radar in 2022
“I argue that given the way Sky are pushing him, it would make him together with Golovkin as a Box Office, a commercial attraction at the top of the division."
In the middleweight division, Gennadiy Golovkin will collide in a unification bout against Ryoto Murata next year in a rearranged bout that got postponed in December due to COVID-19 protocols. Meanwhile, Demetrius Andrade and Jermall Charlo hold the WBO and WBC belts, respectively.
Sauerland - who also promotes heavyweight prospect Filip Hrgovic - believes Eubank's toughness alongside his marketability will see him bag a huge showdown if he comes through Williams next.
Saunders always a possibility for Eubank
Billy Joe Saunders - the other fighter along Groves to have inflicted defeat on Eubank's resume in 2014 is also a possible opponent should he decide to return to the ring.
Despite demanding £5m to make the fight happen, it is unknown as to whether the former two-division world champion will fight again after a devastating defeat to Canelo Alvarez in May left him with a fractured orbital bone to the right eye.
Adam Booth links up with Williams
On fight night in the respective corners, Booth will be in one corner and boxing icon Roy Jones Jnr will be in the opposite corner for Eubank.
Booth has a current stable which includes Josh Kelly, Mick Conlan and Harlem Eubank - Eubank Jnr's cousin - and he also had a brief stint with Eubank himself.
"It throws up even more popcorn for the press conference. You could look at it from a lot of different angles," Sauerland said. "Adam is a very good trainer but he's only got around five weeks to work with Williams and it's going to be a tough ask to come up with a game plan so I haven't looked into it too much on a sporting level.
Such a cheesy guy. Spend Christmas with people at sky because his own family don’t even like him 👀😩 https://t.co/z1SKav0v0h
