“A lot of people don’t know this…” Chris Eubank Jr said as he leaned forward ominously in his chair.
Chris Eubank Jr, a championship boxer and son of International Boxing Hall of Fame legend Chris Eubank, had stopped by my house to be interviewed in preparation for this book.
He continued:
“…but 80 per cent of being a fighter is mental. The balls, the guts and the grit that you have to have to walk through crowds of thousands of people. And while you’re walking, knowing that once you get to that ring and walk up those stairs, you’re going to have to take off your jacket. The bell’s going to ring, and you’re going to have to fight somebody.
“You’re going to have to get hurt, and you’re going to have to hurt somebody, in front of millions of people watching around the world.
“That in itself, that walk, most people on the planet cannot do that. Just the walk, let alone the fight part. It takes huge mental strength.”
