‘Heavyweight’ Chris Eubank Nowhere Near Ready for Comeback

Chris Eubank Jr. has returned to training after an extended break from boxing, but social media footage of him working a heavy bag suggests he is currently far from fighting condition. Observers noted his unusually large size, with some commenting that he looks like a heavyweight. Eubank Jr. has been out of action since his victory over Conor Benn in November 2025.

During his time away from the ring, the 36-year-old became a father to twin boys and has focused on his family. A proposed bout against Michael Zerafa in Australia stalled, and future plans remain unconfirmed. However, promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed he recently had lunch with Eubank Jr. to discuss potentially working together, while a third fight with Conor Benn at super middleweight remains a possibility.
