CARL FROCH encouraged Chris Eubank Jr. to "get a step on" in his career. He called for a bitter rematch against Billy Joe Saunders.
Froch was at ringside to see Eubank Jr, his former sparring partner, win against Wanik Awdijan in the fifth round.
In 2014, Chris Eubank Jr. was defeated by his bitter rival Billy Joe Saunders
The middleweight contender has promised a major fight in December with Liam Williams as the target.
Saunders, who lost to Canelo alvarez, is now contemplating retiring but said that he would return to Eubank Jr to rematch the PS5million.
Froch stated on Sky Sports that Eubank Jr.'s win was a great fight but that he needs to move forward 100 percent.
"We need him to be in there with a big or bigger name. Perhaps the Billy Joe Saunders match. That fight is very enjoyable to me.
"When people begin to price themselves out of the fight it's when they realize that maybe they don’t want it.
"We must see Chris Eubank Jr. with a big-named performer, because the time has come.
Although Eubank Jr. was narrowly defeated by Saunders in 2014, their rivalry has only intensified since.
The world champion at two-weight, he then suffered FOUR facial fractures in defeat by Canelo, 31. He may never return.
After his comeback win, Eubank Jr called Saunders a "rat" and opened the door for Williams to fight Welshman Williams (29), after months of being called out.
Johnny Nelson stated: "That's probably wound Billy Joe, saying he doesn’t want to fight, but it stirs up the pot.
"They are fan fights, Liam Williams or Billy Joe. These are fights fans can get excited about.
"He's also got to ensure he wins a fight for the world title, regardless of who the champion is, within 12 months."
