Eubank: Only the referee should stop a fight, not a boxer

Chris Eubank says it's not in the 'warrior's code' for a boxer to stop a fight themselves.

The former middleweight and super-middleweight world champion disagreed with Kell Brook's decision to stop his IBF world welterweight title fight against Errol Spence Jr, despite having fractured his eye socket.

"I've been in fights where I wanted to wet myself, the beating was so bad. But I had no choice, why? Because integrity doesn't allow."
