Nick Blackwell has spoken out about his disgust and disappointment regarding how team Eubank handled the whole aftermath of the big fight where Blackwell sustained a life threatening injury.
“I haven’t any hard feelings about the fight because you’re in there to win and try and hurt someone, it’s just the stuff he has done after. It’s inhuman, it’s disgusting. They were trying to make themselves look like the good guys when they are the opposite,” Blackwell told The Sun
“My family and friends were begging them not to talk, but they ignored it. I’ve only just been shown the press conference and I know exactly what happened. It isn’t human what they’ve done. They were grabbing as much attention as they could. I was still in a coma but they went ahead and did it. That’s the Eubanks, isn’t it? They just want attention, no matter if it’s a bad or a good thing.”
“If I could have one more knockout shot, I’d love to land it on the jaw of Chris Eubank [Sr.].”
Chris Eunbank Jr waisted no time in responding to these comments made by Blackwell: “People and media demanded that we speak to them. If we had just said ‘No comment’ it would have come off as cold.”
Nick Blackwell spoke about the incident where Eubank Sr. claimed he was protecting Blackwell by giving his son, Chris instructions to go to the body and not the head: “Anyone in boxing knows it’s more of a tactical thing, he couldn’t stop me to the head so he wanted to him in the body to try and get rid of me. Because in boxing you’re in there to try and rid of guys.”
