Chris Eubank Jr ought to retire quite than pursue Conor Benn rematch, says former world champion George Groves

Chris Eubank Jr has an settlement in place for a possible rematch with Conor Benn, however he has been urged to think about different choices.

Eubank Jr beat Benn in an all-out brawl on the Tottenham Hotspur stadium final Saturday.

Within the rapid aftermath of that contest, Benn insisted he needed “revenge” although he might but return to welterweight to pursue his title ambitions.

However George Groves, the previous world champion and Sky Sports activities boxing pundit, believes Eubank Jr ought to retire quite than battle on.

Groves has sparred Eubank and fought him in a high-profile world title bout up at super-middleweight.

He suggested his former opponent towards taking a second bout with Benn.

“No, I don’t think a rematch. No rematch. They had the fight. It was as big as it could have been,” Groves informed Sky Sports activities. “I think Eubank should retire.”

Groves defined: “Eubank got the win. But I think he went straight to hospital and didn’t come home till Monday morning. So I think he should leave his career there. I think Eubank should retire.

“His finest days are approach gone. Well beyond him. However he is had a large night time. He is had an important payday. He is had a second together with his father. He is scratched that itch. Perhaps if he by no means had the Benn battle, it might at all times be ‘what if I had the Benn battle’,” Groves added.

“There is not any different fights on the market for him that can get close to it. Do not have the rematch. Due to this fact I believe he ought to retire.”
