“Eubank has done well,” Groves said. “I fought him seven years ago now, and I retired not that long after thinking I’ve had enough, and he’s still there. He’s survived Covid, he survived being knocked out [by Liam Smith], coming back and he just about survived Conor Benn… We’re all excited about the big fight this week, but after that fight was done, I was like, ‘That was brilliant, everything about that was perfect.’ And the fight delivered. The build-up, the big reveal of Chris [Snr], ‘Did we think Chris Snr was coming? Yes, we all knew Chris Snr was coming,’ we were all so excited when he climbed out of the Rolls Royce or whatever it was, and the fight lived up to it. It went to and fro and Eubank won and deserved to win and got the nod and I thought ‘Is he going to have enough about him now to go out [retire] on this mega high, this ultimate high. I’ve beaten my nemesis on the biggest stage.’ And he hasn’t. He’s gone back. Now, maybe, he might come unstuck.
