Chris Eubank Jr. Takes Indefinite Boxing Break for Health Issues

Chris Eubank Jr., the British middleweight boxer, announced on social media that he is taking an indefinite break from the sport to address ongoing health issues, sharing footage of himself undergoing a medical procedure in a hospital. The 36-year-old fighter, son of boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr., revealed the challenges following his unanimous decision loss to rival Conor Benn in their rematch on November 15, 2023, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

In a video posted to his accounts, Eubank Jr. appeared unconscious on a treatment table as medical staff prepared what looked like an endoscopy. Accompanying the clip, he wrote, "I've been dealing with a lot of health issues over the last year and yeah it all finally caught up to me last month. I will not box again until I'm back to 100 per cent and I don't know when that will be, but one thing's for certain. For the fans that have supported me through thick and thin, I will do everything in my power to make sure that one day, the old me makes a big comeback."

The disclosure came more than two weeks after the bout, where Eubank Jr. struggled visibly, landing only 68 punches and earning just one round on one judge's scorecard....
