Chris Eubank Jr.

minimum yeah it was um you know i don't have to box again let's put it that way but the beautiful thing is at 35 years old i'm still hungry i'm still hungry for success in the sport i'm still hungry for accolades i'm still hungry to please the fans you know a lot of times It's happened throughout history. Fighters will get paid big for a fight and then they lose that hunger.

They lose that dedication, that respect for the industry. Oh, well, I've done it now. Now, you know, let's go to the club. Let's pop the bottles and celebrate. Let's travel. Let's buy this car and this watch, this house. Oh, it's gym today. I was tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. It's okay. It's okay. That's the trap that so many fighters fall into.

And that's why I have so much respect for Floyd Mayweather. He has made a disgusting amount of money and his performances and his dedication never, ever, ever changed. That is, you know, it's incredible because guys, they make their first million and their head's gone. Oh, I made it. All right, cool. No, it's not cool. You know, boxing is a lifestyle. It isn't a one training camp.

It isn't one fight. It is a lifetime of dedication and sacrifice, which is why, I never gave up going through all the things I was going through leading up to this fight, because I know I've put the work in since I was 14 years old. So it doesn't matter what's going on in these two months. I've served my time.

I've been through the trenches time and time and time and time again, and I've always found a way to survive. So I'm going to do it now. Not, oh, well, there's weight clauses and my dad is giving me issues and this and that and that. So, you know, this is going to be tough. Maybe I shouldn't do this. No, you're going to get through it. Just like you got through that treadmill run.

Just like you got through that cut in that fight. Just like you got through in that cramp in your leg. In that fight, you build up a tolerance for pain and suffering.

There was no reserve tank.

Yeah. What are you thinking? You know, I remember going back to the corner in the, maybe the eighth round, seventh or eighth round, and I can hear my trainer and my cornerman.

I looked at him, I said, it's too late. It's too late. I'm sorry. What's going to happen is going to happen. You'll see. There was a look of confusion on their faces. You know, when you have an instruction from a trainer and a team, you're supposed to abide by it. So when I'm telling them it's too late, it's too late. I had already gone into war mode.

Once you commit as a fighter, once you commit to a certain path you're going to walk down, it's pretty much impossible to then switch back. I had a cut from a headbutt. You know, the blood was going down into my eye. I couldn't see. Fights can get stopped from cuts. As soon as that cut happened, I knew that there was no more boxing. There was no more jabbing. There was no more technicality.
