Chris Eubank Jr is determined to shrug off his recent frustrations when he faces Tony Jeter in an interim WBA middleweight title showdown in Sheffield on Saturday night.

The 26-year-old, who has not fought since winning the temporary title with victory over Dmitry Chudinov in February, is eager to stay busy and continue to move up the world rankings.

Eubank said: "I've been out of the ring for eight months so there's a lot of frustration to come out and unfortunately for Tony Jeter, he's going to feel the full force of that.

"If it was up to me I would fight every month. The more I am in the ring, the more focused I am, the more energy I can feel coursing through my body.

"I love being continuously active and I think we are going to be looking to fight every three months at least."

Jeter has won 20 his 25 fights with his last defeat coming by second-round stoppage to unbeaten Patrick Nielsen in Denmark in February last year.
