Chris Eubank Jr has continued his pursuit of Gennady Golovkin by issuing another stern warning via social media.
The British middleweight champion is keen to graduate to world level with a lucrative clash with WBA Super, WBC and IBF champion Golovkin (35-0-KO32) and a deal could be confirmed this week.
Eubank Jr (23-1-KO18) swatted away the challenge of Tom Doran on June 25 and used his post-fight interview to address the Kazakh directly; looking straight down the camera and asserting: "I'm coming for you."
That prompted Golovkin to seemingly accept the Brighton man's challenge, responding via social media: "I'm ready, who's next? @chriseubankjr @EddieHearn @SkySportsBoxing."
Golovkin left Eubank Jr's name off a subsequent challenge to the division, prompting the Englishman to post: "You already know who and what's next. I'm next and your belts are going to be ripped away from you and kept in the UK for a LONG time."
Promoter Eddie Hearn has already stated he is confident a bout between the two in the UK will be confirmed soon, with Golovkin's representative Tom Loeffler adding: "GGG is willing to go to the UK to defend his world titles, and it would be a huge event. Hopefully we can get the fight signed."
Golovkin was last in action in April when he knocked out American Dominic Wade in the second round.
