Now, the Brighton boxer insists he no longer fights for money, but for the love of the sport.
Eubank flies out to Saudi Arabia this week to take on JJ McDonagh on the undercard of Groves’ super fight against Callum Smith.
The 29-year-old has plans for a fight to take place much closer to home, however.
“Brighton had a couple of good results against Man United, haven't they?” he said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
“They've had some big results at the Amex.
“It's a stadium that I'd love to fight at.
“I’ve got to do that one day.”
Eubank also underlined his target list for his career, and said he wants to avenge the defeats on his record.
“Right now, I just focus on the fight in hand and try not to think about who I’m fighting after,” he explained.
“Who knows? Yes, I want the rematch with George. Yes, I want the rematch with Saunders. Yes, I want to fight James DeGale. Yes, I want to fight Callum Smith.
"It wasn't a devastating loss to George. I didn't get beaten up, I didn't get hurt, I didn't get knocked out.
“It was a close fight. George is a world-class fighter so losing to him on points is not the end of the world.
“It was a setback, for sure, but there are many opportunities for me.”
