Fight Report

Chris Eubank Jr. made a statement in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a dominant performance against Kamil Szeremeta, securing a seventh-round technical knockout victory. The British middleweight, now 34-3 with 25 KOs, showcased his power and skill throughout the bout, dropping his Polish opponent four times before the referee called a halt to the contest.

Eubank, fighting for the first time under new trainer Johnathon Banks, started aggressively. In the opening round, he floored Szeremeta with a precise straight right hand, setting the tone for the fight. Despite this early success, Eubank's resilience shone through as he quickly recovered from a solid right hand from Szeremeta, serving as a reminder of his unwavering determination.

Eubank displayed his versatility throughout the fight, mixing sharp jabs with powerful combinations. Szeremeta (25-3-2, 8 KOs) showed resilience and occasionally succeeded with his right hand, mainly when Eubank's focus on power shots left openings. However, the Polish fighter's lack of stopping power meant he couldn't deter Eubank's aggressive approach.

In the sixth round, Eubank increased his intensity, scoring another knockdown with a combination of the body and head. The end came in the seventh round when two devastating right hands to Szeremeta's solar plexus sent him to the canvas, prompting the referee to stop the fight at 1:50.
Post-fight, Eubank, in a display of sportsmanship, acknowledged his opponent's toughness and explained his strategy shift to body shots. The victory, Eubank's first since stopping Liam Smith in September 2024, reaffirms his position in the middleweight division.

The event was not without drama outside the ring, as Eubank engaged in a brief shoving match with rival Conor Benn after the bout, hinting at potential future matchups. Additionally, Eubank's association with Victor Conte's SNAC training system was evident, with the logo prominently displayed on his shorts.

This performance marks a successful debut for the Eubank-Banks partnership and sets the stage for potentially more significant fights for the 35-year-old British star shortly.
