Chris Eubank Jr offers Blackwell his title belt

The truth is, I ended the guy's career. I stopped him from making a living.

Chris Eubank Jr

Yesterday we spoke to former boxer Nick Blackwell, who told us of his "disappointment" over the behaviour of the Eubanks after he was left in a week-long induced coma after a fight with Chris Jr.

He accused his opponent of partying to celebrate his win as he laid in hospital and holding a press conference against his family's wishes.

Today the champion and his father Chris Eubank joined us to address the comments made by Nick, including the accusation that Chris Snr was only advising his son to stop landing blows to his head as a tactical measure rather than out of concern for Nick's wellbeing.

Chris Jr denied celebrating his win, saying he cancelled a trip to New York. He told us: "I guess I can understand where this dislike for me could come from."

He also said: "The truth is, I ended the guy's career. I stopped him from making a living."

He then went on to tell GMB that he would like to arrange to meet Nick so he can give him his title belt as a gesture of good will.
