Sky Sports<\/a>, Eubank didn\u2019t hold back about where he sees himself.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a big fight and it\u2019s a fight that I\u2019m looking at closely because after I dispatch Conor Benn for the second time, either one of those two men, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, I would love to share the ring with in 2026. I\u2019m here to fight the big names.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Eubank, Canelo remains the sport\u2019s biggest attraction. But if Crawford shocks the world, Eubank says the American instantly becomes the one to chase. Either way, he plans to be ringside in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s Different in the Rematch With Benn?<\/p>\n
The rivalry is personal, but Eubank insists fans won\u2019t see the same version of him they did in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a new game plan, we have a new set of skills that we\u2019re going to employ,\u201d he said. \u201cThe first fight lived up to expectations, now we get to go out there and do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
He won their first fight by unanimous decision, but this time he says there will be no question marks. As for a trilogy? Only if Benn earns it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny type of significant victory and I don\u2019t see a third fight. But who knows? It could be another fight of the year contender.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is Eubank Really One Fight Away From the Elite?<\/p>\n
Eubank\u2019s confidence is never lacking. But if he only edges Benn, no one will be calling for him to face Canelo or Crawford. Those two are operating on another level.<\/p>\n
Still, Eubank has a way of keeping himself relevant. He\u2019s outspoken, he sells fights, and on the right night he can deliver. His inconsistency is the problem \u2014 from the high of beating James DeGale, to defeats against Billy Joe Saunders, George Groves, and Liam Smith.<\/p>\n
If he dominates Benn in November, he can at least argue for a shot at the winner of Alvarez\u2013Crawford. Anything less and the talk falls flat.<\/p>\n
My Take: Dreaming Big or Living in Reality?<\/p>\n
Canelo at super-middleweight is a nightmare for anyone. Crawford moving up is already historic. Eubank inserting himself into that conversation feels bold, maybe even unrealistic.<\/p>\n
But ambition has always been part of Eubank\u2019s brand. He\u2019s built a career on keeping his name linked to the sport\u2019s biggest moments. Whether that finally pays off in 2026 depends on one thing: how he handles Benn.<\/p>\n
