Chris Eubank Jr’s Manager Updates After Concerning Hospital Video

Chris Eubank Jr.’s future in boxing appears uncertain following concerning updates after his latest match. In November, Eubank faced Conor Benn, suffering a defeat over 12 rounds, which included being knocked down twice. This loss stands in sharp contrast to their first meeting in April, when Eubank secured a unanimous points victory.

Weight Issues and Career Challenges

The fight raised concerns regarding the weight cut to 160lbs and the 10lbs rehydration limit imposed on Eubank. Many believe that these factors posed significant challenges for Eubank, who is 36 years old and has over a decade of professional experience. Eubank’s manager, Napper, shared insights with Boxing King Media about a troubling video that Eubank posted from his hospital stay.

Manager’s Comments

Napper kept details of Eubank’s health issues private, stating, “Chris doesn’t want it to go public, and he instructed promoter Ben Shalom to keep the matter confidential.” His manager acknowledged Eubank fought despite not being at peak condition. “He had issues similar to those in the first fight, but believed he could still secure the win,” Napper commented.

Long-term Prognosis

Questions remain about Eubank’s long-term health. Napper warned that without a full recovery, Eubank’s boxing career could be significantly shortened. “If he doesn’t make a full recovery, it may end his career prematurely,” he stated.

A Storied Career

If this marks the end of Eubank’s time in the ring, his career has been notable. He has experienced significant successes including a world title fight against George Groves and important victories over prominent opponents such as:

• James DeGale
• Liam Smith
• Conor Benn

As Eubank navigates his recovery, fans and analysts will watch closely to see if he can return to the sport he has served for many years.
