Ben Shalom Targets 168 Return for Chris Eubank Jr. After Illness

Promoter Shalom said Eubank Jr. will return at super middleweight after treatment for an undisclosed illness that worsened before his Nov. rematch loss against Conor Benn. “Once that’s done, he will be back, probably at 168,” he said, eyeing mid-year. The brutal 160lb limit plus 10lb rehydration clause drew scrutiny. Eubank Jr. vowed he won’t box until “back to 100%.”
