Could Kelly fight Eubank?​

Josh Kelly is looking to be victorious this weekend when he fights Placido Ramirez in his Sunderland hometown on Saturday. That could set him up for big fights in 2024 and may make him a contender for a bout with Eubank Jr.

The two share a promoter in Sauerland.

"Obviously top of the world rankings, No 1 in the world Josh Kelly [with the] WBO, so it's logical that a world title fight will be mandated next year. Tim Tszyu obviously the champion there. [Kelly] is also IBF No 4 in the world which I believe is currently vacant. There's also a chance that that might get ordered next year," Sauerland told Sky Sports.

"Then you look at some of the big domestic clashes. Some of those might even take preference to a world title. Some of those names may not be boxing for too much longer.

"You look at Kell Brook returning, Eubank Jr, Conor Benn. Also who's making a name for himself on the domestic scene is of course Florian Marku, very interesting fight as well.

"So a very, very big 2024 for Josh Kelly with a lot of exciting options for some blockbuster fights."
