CHRIS EUBANK JR must cheer on his enemy Kell Brook to defeat Amir Khan, if he is to get the chance to punish him.
British ring legend Chris Sr was in negotiations with Eddie Hearn to get his son, a middleweight fighter, a fight in the UK against Gennady Glovkin.
If Chris Eubank Jr wants to fight Amir Khan, he will need to cheer on Kell Brook
Talks ended in a tumultuous halt, with each side offering very different versions of events. Brook, welterweight, was able to jump up and make millions after a courageous loss.
The 32-year-old Jr., who outpointed Liam Williams Saturday, has maintained the grudge. Brook is now high on his hit-list as he waits to get his shot at the WBA title.
To win his fight with Khan, 35-years-old, he will need to rely on the veteran Sheffield player - who is also a close ally to his other foe Billy Joe Saunders.
When asked by SunSport why the fight appeals, Eubank Jr stated that Kell and I have never been cool. He is the reason why I have never fought Golovkin, and I have always held that against them. The guy is not my favorite.
"He is also best friends with my worst enemy, Billy Joe Saunders. He is therefore an enemy of mine.
"I don't like him as an individual, the things that he does and says as well as how he conducts himself, he annoys and is irritating to be around.

Conor Benn (welterweight), 25, teased that there would be a clash between them and confirmed his interest on Wednesday, moments after the unanimous Cardiff victory.
However, Nigel's son 20-0 fancies a bout in the 11st super-welter midground. Eubank insists that he won't risk his world title bid by boiling below his 11st 6lbs limit. Benn would then have to jump up a stone.
Former super-middleweight stated that he would not turn down a fight, but that he would never reduce to a ridiculous weight.
"I have completed my time in the game. He hasn't. So it would have had to be all on my terms.
"Going down is not something that I need at this stage in my career. There are too many great fights at middleweight to me."
Saunders, who beat Eubank by points in 2014, also responded to his old rival's win weekend by asking PS5million to return from his May Canelo defeat for a bitter grudge match.
Although the 32-year old trash-talking Brighton ace could have rejected his offer of a comeback, he believes it's a fair deal as long as he has more money.
Eubank Jr. said, "I am the A side so whatever he gets I will get more."
"But it's a pay-per view fight, a Wembley fight, so PS5m is realistic because of how much it would generate."
Eubank Jr. is very happy to make a fortune being British boxing's most hated fighter.
He said, "The best thing about my position is that there are many great fights that don't even have world titles fights."
"Kell Brook claims he wants me to punch in the head, Conor Benn tells me he wants me to beat up, and Saunders says he wants PS5m to fight for me.
They aren't world title fights, but they are likely bigger than any world title fights.
"So, we're going to get lots and lots of sexy fighting very soon for sure."
