Chris Eubank Jr will hope a late change of opponent will not cause him difficulty as he prepares to headline the SSE Arena, Wembley.

Original opponent Sven Elbir has tested positive for Covid-19 and has been ruled out of an encounter with the British middleweight

In his stead will be the Germany-based Kazakh Anatoli Muratov, a fighter ranked 7th in the WBA middleweight rankings.

Muratov has been in good recent form, with two wins in the last six weeks including a KO victory over Gyorgy Varju two weeks ago.

Eubank Jr has won his last four fights, including securing a victory over Marcus Morrison last time he stepped in the ring.

That win was his first under trainer Roy Jones Jr as Eubank continued to augment his career record as he begins to push for a title fight.
