Eubank Jr defeated Avni Yildrim via TKO on Saturday night in the quarter-finals of the World Super Boxing Series, paving the way for a semi-final with WBA super middleweight champion George Groves, if the Englishman can overcome Jamie Cox on Saturday night.
“I’ve sparred countless rounds with this man over the years. I have the measure of him,” Eubank told Sky Sports.
“I’m very confident going into a fight with him of what I’ll be able to do in that ring.
“He’s a solid world champion, there is no doubt about it. But I believe I’m a superior fighter in every single way, and I cannot wait to prove it.”
A bout between the two Englishmen would generate huge domestic interest. Groves is renowned for his fierce jab and rangy style, while Eubank excels with accurate punches when boxing on the inside.
Eubank, who’s only lost once in his 27-fight career, added: “I believe I dominated 90 per cent of the rounds that we boxed. I have footage of quite a lot of the spars, but that doesn’t need to be made public.
“That was for me and my eyes only and just to learn, because when these sparring sessions were happening it was still early on in my career.
“I have always watched George fight on the TV, doing these big things, and fighting in front of 80,000 people, and I’m thinking ‘I can beat this guy.’ It should be me up there, and now it will be.”
If Groves prevails on Saturday night, the match-up between him and Eubank will take place in either January or February 2018.
