Chris Eubank Jr reveals 'health issues' and says he will not box again until "100%"

Chris Eubank Jr has ruled out returning to the ring until he feels "100%" about his health, amid speculation surrounding a potential comeback. The 36-year-old middleweight boxer, who lost to Conor Benn in a rematch last month, revealed in a video posted on social media that he's been dealing with various health issues over the past year.

Eubank Jr stated that his decision to step away from boxing is final, but assured fans that he will return when he feels fully recovered. He expressed gratitude to his supporters and hinted at a possible comeback down the line. The boxer has not specified what exactly led him to take an extended break, nor revealed any details about his current health condition.

The news comes after Eubank Jr faced intense media scrutiny over his comments on retirement during fight week for the rematch with Benn. The middleweight division is still considered one of the most competitive in the sport, and a potential comeback could spark renewed interest among fans and pundits alike.
 
omg did you see that vid from chris eubank jr?? 🀯 he's been dealin w/ health issues for like a year now & hes sayin hes done till he feels 100% about it 😬 its weird cuz i thought he was all in on comin back after losin to conor benn, but idk maybe hes just takin the time to get his health right πŸ€” anyway, cant wait to see if he comes back & takes down the middleweight div πŸ₯ŠπŸ’ͺ
 
I'm loving how honest Chris Eubank Jr is about his health issues πŸ€•πŸ’Š He's not rushing back into the ring till he feels 100% right about it, that's super responsible of him. I think a potential comeback would be awesome tho 😎, but at the same time, he's gotta prioritize his well-being. The middleweight division is so stacked, so if he does decide to come back, let's hope he can give those other fighters a run for their money πŸ₯ŠπŸ’ͺ
 
Just read about Chris Eubank Jr's decision to take a break from boxing πŸ€• I feel bad for him, his health issues sound really tough to deal with. It's like, you love what you do so much, but your body's just not cooperating anymore 😩. He seems like a down-to-earth guy too, appreciative of his fans and all that. But at the same time, it makes me wonder if he'll ever come back πŸ€”. The boxing world always needs fighters pushing each other to be their best, so hopefully, he finds what's making him feel 100% soon πŸ’ͺ.
 
man i feel bad for eubank jr he's been through so much and its great that he's prioritizing his health he cant just rush back to the ring when he's not 100% it makes total sense. i also get why he'd wanna come back eventually, boxing is in his blood and hes got a dedicated fanbase who'd love to see him back in action but for now lets focus on getting him better 🀞
 
Just read this about Chris Eubank Jr and I gotta feel bad for him πŸ€•. 36 and he's already dealing with health issues? That's no way to start the next chapter of your life. He's got a lot of fans who are rooting for him to come back, but at the same time, we all need to be thinking about his well-being. Boxing can be a brutal sport - it's gotta take a toll on you physically and mentally πŸ₯ŠπŸ’ͺ. I hope he gets the help he needs and comes back when he's 100% sure he's good to go.
 
i feel bad for him tho, boxing is a rough sport and it's not uncommon for athletes to deal with health issues... maybe he's just taking care of himself? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ his career will come when the time is right but i think we can all agree that he's been through a lot lately...
 
just wondering when boxing fans are gonna let him have a break lol... ppl been hyping up about his comeback 4eva πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ like what's the rush? he needs to take care of himself first πŸ₯ anyway, i got no issues with him taking time off, more power to him πŸ™
 
idk why people are all like "oh no chris eubank jr should come back ASAP" lol what's the hurry? guy's been dealin with health issues for like a year now, can't just rush back into the ring without bein 100%. that's just askin for a major comeback injury. and honestly, i think he's doin us all a favor by takin a step back from boxing. it's not good for his mental/physical health, and we don't wanna see him compromise himself in the ring again πŸ€•πŸ₯Š
 
so like he's not even sure if he's gonna come back yet lol. 36 years old and already saying "100%" is a big deal. what exactly happened that made him wanna step away? is it really just health issues or is there more to it? i think fans deserve to know the real reason why he retired, you feel?
 
I feel bad for Chris Eubank Jr, he's been through some stuff and it's not easy to just step away from something you love πŸ’”. I get why he wants to take his time to make sure he's 100% before getting back in the ring - health is everything when it comes to boxing. It's crazy how much pressure he was under after those comments, but at least he took a moment to address everyone's concerns and show some gratitude πŸ™.

I'm curious about what exactly led him to take that break though... was it just burnout or something more serious? Either way, I hope he gets the rest and recovery time he needs because when he does come back, it'll be huge πŸ’₯. The boxing world will definitely be watching with bated breath.
 
It's all about timing here πŸ•°οΈ, folks! Chris Eubank Jr thinks he can just opt out of boxing whenever he feels like it? I'm calling foul on that one πŸ˜’. What's next, is the entire MMA scene gonna shut down because some fighter felt a twinge in their knee? It's all about personal branding now - if you're not putting your body on the line, why should we care?

And don't even get me started on the timing of his 'official' retirement statement πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Is he trying to drum up sympathy for a potential comeback? It's just smart business, plain and simple πŸ’Έ. But let's be real, when the money stops rolling in from endorsements and appearances, will he still be feeling 100% about his health?
 
I'm not buying into this whole "100% healthy" thing... πŸ€”πŸ‘€ Like, come on Chris Eubank Jr, you're 36, not invincible! You've been out of the ring for a bit already, I'm sure you're feeling a little rusty. Maybe take some time to get back in shape, work on your weaknesses and then think about coming back? πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’ͺ

And another thing, what's with all these health issues he's got? Is it really that serious? Can't just say "oh, I'm dealing with various health problems" without giving us any details? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ It's like he's trying to build up suspense or something. Give us a break Chris! πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ

I'm not saying I don't want him back in the ring, but let's be realistic here... he's not getting any younger and his last fight didn't exactly go as planned πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. A comeback might spark some interest, but it's also gonna bring a whole lot of scrutiny and pressure on him to perform πŸ’₯. Let's see how he handles that before we start jumping up and down with excitement 😎
 
OMG u guys I just saw this vid from Chris Eubank Jr 🀯 he's been dealing with health issues for like a yr now and its kinda sad tbh his decision to step away is final but I think we all know he'll come back when hes 100% πŸ’ͺ I mean who can blame him though? boxing is brutal on ur body especially at his age idk how many ppl can keep pushing thru the pain & fatigue like he has been πŸ€” also can u believe he faced media scrutiny over what he said about retirement lol like doesnt every boxer say that or wut πŸ˜‚ anyway I hope hes fully recovered soon cuz boxing needs him πŸ’•
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed in Chris Eubank Jr's decision to step away from boxing... not because he's bad at it or anything πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ but more because I think we'll see him again sooner rather than later πŸ•°οΈ. He's been low-key talking about his health issues and how they've affected his training, which is understandable, but still, a boxer's gotta box right? It's what he was born to do πŸ’ͺ. Plus, the middleweight division is getting more stacked by the day, so it'd be awesome to see him come back and shake things up πŸ”„. Still, I get why he wants to prioritize his health - we all need to take care of ourselves, especially in a sport that can be rough on the body πŸ€•. Guess we'll just have to wait and see when (or if) he decides to return to the ring πŸ₯Š.
 
omg u guys i'm literally shaking thinking about chris eubank jr's situation πŸ€• he's been dealing w health issues for like a year now & its heartbreaking 36 yrs old isnt even old but his body is telling him to slow down i feel him tho we all know boxin takes alot outta u physically & mentally so im glad hes prioritizing his health over anything else πŸ™ it wont be the same if he comes back til hes 100% tho, wut r we gonna do till then lol πŸ˜‚
 
man its like chris eubank jr needs to get his health sorted first lol πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ i mean we all know hes been dealing with stuff for ages now but he's 36 and boxing is not exactly a sport for the faint of heart... πŸ’” if he wants to come back, idk how much more punishment he can take before its just too much πŸ€•
 
I feel bad for Chris Eubank Jr πŸ€•, he's been through so much over the past year and it's no wonder he's taking his time to focus on his health 😊. As someone who loves boxing, I know how mentally and physically demanding it is, and I can only imagine how tough it must be for him to deal with all these health issues πŸ’ͺ.

I'm glad he's being honest about not wanting to rush back into the ring until he feels 100% πŸ™. His fans deserve that from him, and I'm sure they'll support him every step of the way πŸ’•. Let's hope he gets the rest and recovery time he needs, and when he does come back, it'll be with a bang ⚑️!
 
omg i cant even imagine chris eubank jr back in the ring!!! he's been through so much health wise over the past year and its awesome that hes being honest about it πŸ’― now that hes saying hes not 100% ready yet, id rather wait for him to come back fully fit than see him rush into another fight πŸ€• i mean we all know how much his fans (aka the Eubank Jr squad πŸ’–) love him and wudnt wanna see him get hurt again πŸ˜” i'm lowkey hyped for a possible comeback tho lol what do u guys think, should eubank jr take on the middleweight division once more? πŸ€”
 
Man... I was just thinking about old-school boxing the other day πŸ…... like when Mike Tyson used to come out of nowhere and knock guys out cold 😲... those were wild times. But for real though, Chris Eubank Jr's decision to step away from boxing is making me a little nostalgic for his prime days. He was always so confident in the ring, you know? I mean, who can forget that crazy fight against Riddick Bowe back in '97 🀯... anyway, it seems like he's taking some time off to focus on his health and I gotta respect that. Hopefully, he comes back stronger than ever and doesn't get caught up in the hype again πŸ˜…. The boxing world is always going through phases, but I think Eubank Jr made the right call here... 100% health first, you feel? πŸ’―
