Chris Eubank Jr on the Fight of His Life: 'If I Lose to Conor Benn, I Retire' -
Men’s Health: Built For LifeShow Notes
Chris Eubank Jr. speaks passionately about legacy, discipline, and his personal feud with Conor Benn. He’s driven by the need to uphold the Eubank name and refuses to let the Benn name overtake it - admitting it would “kill him” if it did.
He describes his transformation into a focused, different man when preparing for war (a fight), and outlines the intense lifestyle of a clean fighter: weekly drug tests, relentless training, strict nutrition, and monastic discipline. His training involves sparring, cardio, strength work, and a heavy emphasis on sleep and recovery.
Eubank opens up about his childhood as the son of Chris Eubank Sr., calling it an extraordinary but enjoyable experience. Though his father initially opposed his boxing ambitions, a conversation with Lennox Lewis helped change his father's mind. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When most of us think about recovery, we picture ice baths, saunas, supplements and sleep trackers. But some of the things we do to recover place another stress on the body – and when we’re already running on empty, doing more might be the last thing we need.
When most of us think about improving our performance, we assume that means training harder and doing more. But hard sessions aren’t necessarily productive sessions – and when it comes to hybrid training simply smashing two different, programmes together could leave you smashing your body to bits.
