Chris Eubank Sr told his son to ease off when Nick Blackwell looked in a bad way and the referee refused to stop the fight. The advice could have saved his life.

Chris Eubank Jnr was absolutely pummeling his opponent in their Middleweight Title fight.

Realising just how damaged his son’s opponent was, Chris Eubank Snr gave him deliberate instructions at the end of the 8th round to only hit him in the body.

That call could have been life-saving with Blackwell in such a bad state he was taken to hospital and placed into an induced coma after the fight was eventually called off in the 10th.
