Nick Blackwell 'died' in ambulance after Eubank fight

I haven't got anything against him as a fighter, I think he's a really, really good fighter - but as a person some of things he's said and done, personally I wouldn't have done

Nick Blackwell

Boxer Nick Blackwell speaks for the first time on live television since the brutal fight which could have made him a champion - but instead ended his career.

In our exclusive interview he reveals to GMB how he technically died in the ambulance - but was saved by medics after his gruelling fight with Chris Eubank Jr. Nick was joined by his brother Dan, who was also a boxer but pulled out of fighting because of what happened.

He also told us what he really thinks of the Eubanks, saying he was "disappointed" that they held a press conference against his family's wishes while he was in the coma.

The Eubanks respond: Chris Jr offers Blackwell his title belt

Nick became the youngest ever English middleweight champion in 2010 - aged just 20 - and in May 2015 he secured the British middleweight title. But a fight against Chris Eubank Jr on March 26th this year ended all that and led to him spending a week in an induced coma.

The fight also reignited the debate around the safety of the sport, with critics suggesting the fight should have been stopped sooner.

We find out what Nick really thinks about the Eubanks and what the future holds for him.
