Chris Eubank Jr met a boxer who nearly died after fighting him in 2016 and people are all saying the same thing in the boxing world after it.
Courageous, heart of a lion, Nick Blackwell of the UK is doing tremendous since that fight in his repair and ongoing physical rehabilitation work that he does, a credit to himself and the entire sport.
He even met Eubank Jr yesterday, who nearly killed him, for the first time since that dark night in 2016 when they fought and even wished him well saying on the X app and site, saying:
“Back together again @ChrisEubankJr We haven’t seen each other since my traumatic brain injury in the ring when I fought Chris Eubank Jr in 2016. We were both made up to see each other again today. Good Luck tomorrow Chris. We catch up properly soon.”
Class act Blackwell, what a brilliant thing for boxing that is. People are responding with well wishes in their droves for him.
Keep up the physical rehabilitation from your injuries Blackwell, we are all with you.
No doubt he’ll be at the fight or nearby later on for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn in London.
