Chris Eubank Jr has been criticised for his choice of opponent by middleweight rival Hamzah Sheeraz ahead of his return to the ring next month
Chris Eubank Jr has been slammed for his choice of opponent by middleweight rival Hamzah Sheeraz, who believes that the son of British boxing icon Chris Eubank is too much of a "p***y to fight him.
But after announcing that his next contest will be against the lesser known Szeremeta on October 12, undefeated Sheeraz has ripped into Eubank Jr - who has only challenged for a world title once since turning pro in 2011 - for "fooling the public" once again. Speaking to iFL TV, he said: "I was disappointed as a potential opponent, a boxing purist, a casual and a human. When you are at that level, you can't say because I have been out the ring too long I need a warm-up fight.
Sheeraz 25, defends his commonwealth title against fellow Brit Tyler Denny on the undercard of the mega heavyweight world title dust-up between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois on September 21 and only believes Eubank Jr would be willing to face him in the ring if there was a world title on the line.
