Chris Eubank Jr could return to the ring this summer after receiving medical treatment, according to his promoter Ben Shalom. The former middleweight contender has been sidelined since his defeat to Conor Benn last November, a performance he later attributed to health issues.
Eubank Jr posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed after the fight, prompting concerns about his wellbeing. Shalom confirmed that the boxer had an underlying medical issue that required attention. “He's had a lot of stuff to do medically to flush out what he's been dealing with,” Shalom told the Daily Mirror. “Once that's done, he will be back, probably at 168lb.”
Shalom added that Eubank Jr is expected to make a full recovery and return to training in the middle of 2025. The promoter criticised the rehydration clauses imposed for both fights against Benn, calling them “really dangerous” and urging regulators to ban the practice.
