Nick Blackwell confirms his retirement from boxing, says he has no hard feelings towards Eubank Jr

Nick Blackwell has confirmed his retirement from boxing, before insisting he has no hard feeling towards Chris Eubank Jnr. Nick Blackwell almost lost his life after he was rushed to the hospital and put in induced coma after a fight between him and Chris Eubank Jr where he suffered a bleed to the skull.


Blackwell suffered internal bleeding to the brain and was rushed to the hospital after the referee refused stopping the fight until the 10th round despite the serious head injuries Blackwell received.
And today, the fighter has confirmed he won't go into professional boxing anymore as he wouldn't want his family to pass through the heartbreak and emotional trauma that they passed through following his recent ordeal.

Someone asked him on Twitter if he was going to come back to boxing or stop, to which he replied.
'no that's me done I can't put my friends and family and self through that again but I'll still be involved'

Boxer Chris Eubank Jr also communicated to him via Twitter saying he had been trying to reach out to him to which Blackwell replied that he had no feelings.

Eubank Jnr said:

“I’ve tried reaching out since you woke. Haven’t heard anything back from you or your team. I hope there’s no hard feelings.”

Blackwell replied:

“hello bro no hard feelings, we were both there doing a job and it was unfortunate for what happened but I hope your ok champ.”

Eubank Jnr added:

"U never gave up proved yourself a true warrior. Not sure how long you're in hospital but Id like to come visit if possible."

Blackwell replied:

"cheers bro I haven't watched the fight back yet but will watch it and out in the next few days but b good to see you bro."
