Martin Murray, Chris Eubank Jr talk up potential fight

Martin Murray and Chris Eubank Jr have suggested that they could face each other later in 2016 after exchanging words on social media.

Last month, a clash between the two looked unlikely with Murray being outclassed by George Groves and Eubank nearing a deal to face world middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, but failure to conclude negotiations with the Kazakh has left the British champion with limited options.

The 26-year-old has been ordered to defend his domestic belt against Tommy Langford but both Murray and Eubank have talked up a potential bout between themselves.

@MartinMurrayBox it would be a great fight... unfortunately not for you.

Ok big lad. You'll most probably use this as another publicly stunt but if your Dad will let you...lets do it! https://t.co/ejK9HbZc7X

Murray held the British middleweight title in 2011 but he has since moved up to super-middleweight.
