What Chris Eubank Jr Said About His Health
Eubank Jr gave a candid explanation of what he has been facing, stressing that he will not compete again until he is at full strength. He said:
“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% 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.”
During his November outing against Benn, many observers commented that Eubank Jr did not look physically right. He appeared unusually sluggish, lacked his typical sharpness and energy, and showed signs of discomfort both during the fight and in the post-fight moments. While he did not directly link his performance to any specific condition, today’s confirmation provides important context for what fans witnessed.
Eubank Jr’s choice to step back highlights a commitment to long-term health rather than forcing himself into more fights while unwell. His message also reassured fans that although his return date is uncertain, his intention is to come back stronger once fully recovered.
For now, the boxing world waits, hoping that time and proper treatment will allow him to recover completely and eventually make the comeback he promised.
