Throwback to this 2014 spar between Chris Eubank Jr. (14-0) and Carl Froch (32-2).

‘The Cobra’ was preparing for his upcoming rematch against George Groves and brought Eubank into camp as one of his sparring partners.

He later said. “He was a very tough kid, believes in himself, no fear. He’s decent, a good fighter. I could tell that he wasn’t a polished professional at that stage, because he hadn’t had a big amateur career. Some of the stuff he was doing was quite crude, but his toughness and his fitness and work-rate were really good. He gave me really good sparring. He was smaller than me and lighter, but he soaked it up, he punched back, he was confident. He always had a go.

“Very impressed with him. I was landing flush shots, but I was getting hit with flush shots as well. He’s quick and he’s tough, and he keeps coming forward. I’ve been in there with top fighters, so when you spar someone, you know. I thought, ‘He could be good Eubank Jr.’”

Hasim Rahman 41–5–1 (33 KO) vs. James Toney 69–4–2 (43 KO), billed as The Big Boys are Back, was a professional boxing match contested on 18 March 2006 for the WBC heavyweight championship.

After failing to win any of next four fights following his April 2001 knockout victory over unified heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis (including being knockouted in the rematch), Hasim Rahman won all 5 of his bouts in 2004 to become the WBC number 1 ranked contender and the mandatory challenger to new heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

The fight was agreed for 30 April 2005, however Klitschko injured his thigh while training for the fight, so it was rescheduled for 18 June. As this date approached, Klitschko’s camp said that the thigh had not fully healed; the WBC made 23 July the new fight date. Soon after this second postponement, Vitali’s doctors reportedly discovered back injuries that they said demanded minor-yet-immediate corrective surgery. The WBC pushed the fight back again, this time to 12 November.

After this third rescheduling, Rahman won a WBC “Interim” heavyweight bout against his friend Monte Barrett on 13 August by a wide unanimous decision.

On 7 November, five days before he was due to face Rahman, it was announced that Klitschko had suffered severe right knee injuries during training. After WBC said it would strip him of the championship, on November 9, Vitali Klitschko announced his retirement. The next the WBC voted to award its heavyweight championship to Rahman, making him a two-time heavyweight champion.

Shortly afterward James Toney’s planned December bout with Rob Calloway was cancelled as Toney’s promoter Dan Goosen entered talks with Rahman’s promoter Don King make Toney Rahman’s first defence. Wladimir Klitschko and Oleg Maskaev were also mentioned as options.

In the build up the bout Toney called out the now retired Lennox Lewis saying that “Lennox will return – he can’t resist.”

Rahman received a $2.5 million purse and Toney $2 million.

The bookmakers had Toney a 2–1 on favourite to win the bout.
