Chris Eubank Jr fight: What has been said?
Chris Eubank Jr is targeting a clash with Gennadiy Golovkin soon.
He said: “I’m a middleweight right now. At the moment there are a lot of middleweight world champions that I'm coming for this year.
"Canelo is a great fighter, it's a huge fight, but at super-middleweight. He's the only guy I would move up to fight - if I was given the opportunity, of course, I would take it.
"But there are a lot of names including GGG. That's a fight that needs to happen this year, it has to happen.
"He has a world title, the fans have been asking for the fight for years, it slipped through my fingers.
"I'm in a position now, fighting in England, where I can put it good performances and we can make the fight at the end of the year.

"That would be the dream, to fight in the UK. Obviously he fights in the States and it comes down to business.
"My main focus is just fighting him and getting that world title."
But Marcus Morrison is confident of causing an upset, saying: “I’m always dangerous. Only a fool would not respect my power. I do carry the punch power to knock Chris Eubank Jr out. I do absolutely believe it.
"I've gone over the fight many times in my head. If I'm honest, I've not thought too much about the ending, but all I know is that on May 1, it's going to be explosive.
"I honestly think the fans are in for a treat. When you put two fighters in, like me and Chris who can both punch, you're in for an exciting fight.
