Eubank considers sensational return to the ring

[ChazzyBHA]

At 45 years old, he wants to 'show his sons how it's done'. It was on the Back of the Argus today. Thoughts?

Thoughts? Is it April Fools' Day?

Got the potential of him making a complete fool of himself, instead of showing his kids how it's done. Why can boxers never retire? If there is even a tiny bit of them that think they will get back into the ring, why do they even say they are retiring? David Haye, for example. How long was he banging on about retiring for? And now he's back. And I can't contain my indifference...

Chris has probably just seen Rocky 6.

Publicity stunt as per usual in boxing.

Assume he's skint

This, with bells on.

I assume. Maybe to help get his son's name about.

He's been skint for years.

Helping his son out through his own name. Not so bad.

Say what you like about him but there is no denying Chris Eubank was a class fighter, showman and a master at self-promotion. The rivalry between him Nigel Benn was a golden era for British boxing. I was personally proud that he was fighting out of Brighton - even though watching in pubs around the town, I was often in the minority supporting him.

That said, I'm not sure I'd want to see him come back. I suspect this is all to help push his son's name up the headlines. Jnr is a good fighter but he lacks his father's appeal.
