Chris Eubank Jr opens up on ‘health issues’ during Conor Benn fights as Brit shares worrying hospital footage

Chris Eubank Jr claims his ‘health issues’ finally caught up with him during his rematch with Conor Benn.

The Brighton boxer saw off a spirited display from his fierce rival in April to get his hand raised via unanimous decision, but he was beaten convincingly when they ran it back last month.

Eubank Jr touched the deck twice in the twelfth round en route to a wide points defeat that saw judge Howard Foster award him just one round.

At the post-fight press conference, Eubank Jr declared that he had ‘been through hell’ just to get into the ring.

However, he refused to reveal exactly what he meant.

That changed on Tuesday when Eubank Jr took to social media to upload a video of himself in the hospital, with the following statement: “I’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues over the last year & yeah, it all finally caught up to me last month.

“I will not box again until I’m back to 100% & I don’t know when that will be, but one things for certain…

“For the fans that have supported me through thick & thin, I will do everything in my power to make sure that one day, the old me makes a big comeback.
