Martin Murray and Chris Eubank Jr use social media to talk up a potential clash between the two later in 2016.

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 Jr 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 Jr have talked up a potential bout between themselves.



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