My Rematch With Liam Smith Is The Most Important Fight Of My Life – Chris Eubank Jr

Popular British boxer, Chris Eubank Jr has come out to say that he has placed himself on a self-imposed s*x ban ahead of his rematch with Liam Smith on Saturday.

Recall that he was beaten for the first time in his career earlier this year, having been knocked to the canvas twice before the fight was waved off.

The pair are about to go toe-to-toe for a second time at the Manchester Arena next month, and Eubank has said he is looking forward to proving his worth in the most important fight of his life.

His words, “I’m a couple of weeks away from the biggest fight of my career, so that really is all that’s on my mind, getting in that ring and avenging the loss.

There’s a lot of other things that are going on in my life, but during a fight camp especially this close [to the rematch against Liam Smith] you’ve got to block it out, you’ve got to try anyways. Any distractions, anything that gets in the way of focus is detrimental and you get better and better at that over time.

Right now, I’m just in fight mode, during camp so that I can give it my all and be 100 per cent on the night. You can’t be 100 per cent on the night of the fight if you’re going out with your mates, if you’re drinking, if you’re having sex, if you’re travelling, if you’re trying to run a business.

You’ve got to be all in if you want to be able to give yourself the best chance at performing how you want to perform on the night.

“I am not going to put that [retirement talk] into the universe, it’s unhealthy to talk like that. That’s how I’ve got to treat this in terms of my mental state going into this fight, I have to give this fight everything I’ve got. I can’t afford any mistakes, I can’t afford any slip ups, this is the most important fight of my life.”
