British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18KOs) will be offered the opportunity to get right back in the world title picture, according to World Boxing Association President Gilberto Mendoza Jr.

Eubank Jr. captured the WBA's interim title last year after pounding Dimitri Chudinov. He was then in line to fight WBA 'regular' champion Daniel Jacobs. For whatever reason Eubank Jr. went in another direction and fought Gary O' Sullivan in December.

The interim title became vacant and then it was won by Alfonso Blanco (12-0, 5KOs).

Eubank has a fight scheduled against Tommy Langford on October 22nd. If he comes out with the win, the World Boxing Association would offer him the opportunity to face Blanco in a WBA tournament of sorts.

The World Boxing Association is looking to eliminate the issue of multiple WBA champions in various divisions. Gennady Golovkin is the WBA's 'super' champion at middleweight and defends against Kell Brook on September 10th. The night before, Jacobs will defend the WBA 'regular' middleweight title against Sergio Mora.

Should Golovkin and Jacobs both win, as most expect, the WBA will order them to fight each other.  The winner of Eubank vs. Blanco would be in line to fight the Golovkin-Jacobs winner.

"I do respect Chris Eubank, who was also an interim champion," Mendoza told Sky Sports. "I know Blanco is scheduled to fight soon, but it hasn't been announced yet."

"What is currently happening in the middleweights is that 'Triple G', if he wins the fight against Brook, he has to defend his title immediately with Daniel Jacobs. We might have a special box-off to have only one world champion and that could involve Eubank, because he's the No 2 right now."

"Win that fight and I will order Blanco to defend against Eubank, and the winner of Golovkin-Jacobs will have to face the winner of Blanco and Eubank. I'm doing a box-off definitely there in this division. We would like to clear it up, like all of the rest."
