Chris Eubank to come out of retirement

[NoLove]

CHRIS EUBANK is plotting a sensational return to the ring — if he can get the public’s backing.

The eccentric two-time world champion has even phoned fellow golden oldie Nigel Benn to offer a rematch and would love to box on the same bill as his son Christopher Jnr.

Eubank Snr, 45, last fought in 1998 — when he was beaten by Carl Thompson in Sheffield — but is now a stone LIGHTER at 12st 7lb.

He declared: “I’m a light-heavyweight now and when I look at 47-year-old Bernard Hopkins I think, ‘If he can do it, why can’t I?’

“To get back into the gym? Wow. To be hit again, to be hit in the chest, to be able to withstand a shot to the face, that is a dream for me, it is my fantasy.

In terms of watchability, I'd say that's a good thing.

But anyway, Chris should stay retired. I know he needs the money but there are easier ways to get it these days.

Yeah, like coaching his son to win big money fights or Celebrity Big Brother.

ok sure whatever you gotta say to justify what I said. but yes lets agree to the fact that eubank is no bernard - watchability, skill, ring intelligence, whatever. So he should def stay retired

My thoughts exactly.

Or he could do another one of those Gladiator Benn v Eubank things that they did about 10 years ago.

They're two completely different fighters in nearly every way possible. The only comparison that was made was by Chris himself in terms of age and weight.
