Eubank eyes return to the ring
Chris Eubank has revealed he dreams of a return to boxing.
The 45-year-old, a former WBO middleweight and super middleweight champion, says he would love to fight old rival Nigel Benn on the same bill as his son, middleweight Christopher Jr.
Eubank told The Sun: "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.
"I was even talking to Nigel Benn and I said: 'Come on kid, we've got to get it back on'.
"It would be a fantasy for me to actually box again, especially on the same bill as my son."
He added: "First I would needed public backing. I would never want to do anything to compromise the respect I seem to have as a boxer."
