There was always a lot of pressure – I fought on Channel 5 in my first fight and got two million views – but luckily I’m the kind of person who thrives under pressure. I use it to fuel my performances and training, knowing that all eyes are on me and that there’s a lot to live up to. It made me harder, tougher and more determined. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
It’s definitely hard to live up to expectation. Especially early in my career, everyone was expecting so much from me, everyone was comparing me to my father. They didn’t understand that they’re comparing me to a world champion, which is very unfair as a novice. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
Not having a trainer is basically just giving an edge to my opponent, and I’m not willing to do that anymore. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
The only time I’ve ever been knocked out in my entire life was in a rugby game when I was about 13. I used to play on the wing. The opposing winger has the ball in his hand and he’s running full speed at me. I go down to tackle him and he jumps up and his knee hits my temple. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
For my training camp against George Groves my main sparring partner was a 6ft 7inch cruiserweight who fought nothing like George. It was just wrong. Wrong preparation. I was as fit as could be, but strategically I didn’t prepare right. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
I don’t like to give predictions but I am the type of fighter who tries to stop his man every time, and that’s why I’m such a fan favourite. People know I do the business. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
With my fight style – speed and volume punching – it would be an amazing fight. Golovkin is a come-forward fighter. It would be fireworks, a fight that the fans would enjoy. Because of my style, I would stop him due to the pure amount of punches. Whether it’s a cut or he gets tired, stopping him would definitely be on the cards. Chris Eubank Jr. Read Quote
