Ahead of his fight, Eubank Jr. spoke about his fight against Nick Blackwell which ended with Blackwell going into a medically induced coma. It was a similar event to what happened when his father fought Michael Watson who was in a coma for 40 days after their fight.
'Next Gen' explained what he learned from that fight:
"For me, it was more right, this has happened and it could have been me. So I have to now do everything in my power to make sure that it isn't me in the future because I am gonna keep fighting. I am gonna continue to be putting my health at risk. So I need to prepare myself, I need to be even more ferocious. I need to be even more prepared because there is still so much more I want to do in the sport."
Take a look at the interview:
Chris Eubank Jr. will want to move past Liam Williams to challenge for a title in a bid to surpass his father. Eubank Jr. has stated that that is what drives him to accomplish things in the sport as his father once told him that he would never be as good as him.
