Watch Eubank vs. Szeremta live Oct.12 on DAZN
Chris Eubank Jr. has teased the possibility of a boxing match with MMA superstar Conor McGregor, adding that he would be "open to exploring" a fight between the two.
The former WBA interim middleweight title holder will fight for the first time since September 2023 this month when he faces off with Kamil Szeremeta, live on DAZN.
The Briton, who is on the undercard for Artur Bebertiev vs. Dmitry Bivol at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, already has his sights on a fight with Canelo Alvarez too.

But Eubank Jr. has admitted that he could also potentially enter the ring against McGregor, the former dual-title two-weight UFC champion, at some point down the line.
"You know, there's actually been talks of me and him actually having a boxing match at some point," he told DAZN.
"The fans have said that they want to see that. How interesting that would be. That's definitely something that I'm open to exploring, let's just say that."
McGregor, one of the most decorated MMA fighters of all time, previously turned professional for a single boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017.
The Irishman was unable to score an upset victory in Las Vegas however, suffering a tenth-round TKO defeat before returning to his MMA career.
Eubank Jr. previously gained revenge over Liam Smith in his last bout, and is also looking to settle the score with long-term rival Conor Benn in the near-future too.
