Chris Eubank Jr answers retirement rumours ahead of Conor Benn rematch

Chris Eubank Jr acknowledged it was a blessing to announce he will soon become a father days out from his second fight with Conor Benn before he quashed retirement rumours.

The sons of British boxing greats Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn produced a classic in April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in front of 67,484 spectators.

Eubank Jr won by a unanimous decision and will aim to toast the anticipated arrival of twin boys during the coming months with another victory in north London on Saturday, but the 36-year-old rejected suggestions it could be his last fight.
