If that’s the case the scope would most likely be going up the other way!

I’ve got a similar illness to Chrons. Takes it out of you.
Yeah a couple of mates of mine have chrons and ulcerative colitis, not at all pleasant for them.
My 13 year old grandson has Chrons disease. He often poos blood. He's on meds to try to keep it under control but he will no doubt be on meds for the rest of his life
I think the treatment protocols are getting better, also some autoimmune conditions settle down post puberty, though of course it is highly individuated.

I've had Psoriasis all my life, I am fortunate that it only affects certain areas, though bizzarely I get it inside my ear, which drives me mad as it constantly itches.

This colony of snails up his arse is probably part of the reason it was so difficult for Eubank to make weight. What do you reckon he’s got up there? 3 or 4 pounds of them? Let’s hope this arse-snail removal operation is successful.

No wonder he fought like a shell of himself.

I look forward to seeing him and Benn slug it out in a 3rd fight.

Chris Eubank Jr’s Manager Provides Update Following Worrying Hospital Video

Chris Eubank Jr.‘s boxing future is in doubt after the fighter shared some troubling updates following his last contest.

That fight took place back in November and saw Eubank soundly beaten over 12 rounds by Conor Benn, including being put down twice.

It was a complete reverse of what happened in the first fight back in April when it was Eubank who used his size advantage and greater experience to pull away for a unanimous points win over his long-time rival.

Many suspect that making the weight of 160lbs and then sticking to the 10lbs rehydration limit on the morning of the fight was too much to ask for a fighter who is 36 and is more than 10 years into his professional career.

Speaking to Boxing King Media, Eubank’s manager Napper was asked about a video Eubank shared of him in hospital.

“What exactly is wrong with him… Chris don’t want it to go to the public, he’s told [promoter Ben] Shalom make sure you don’t say what the issue is. He decided to take the fight cause at the end of the day, you win, nobody talks about it, you lose, no excuses.

“So yeah he weren’t at 100% but let me tell you, the same issues he had he had in the first fight, but it didn’t affect him as much. But he believed he had enough to still get the W.”


He was then asked about Eubank’s long-term prognosis.

“We’re at the stage now where if he doesn’t make a full recovery, yeah, he will cut his career short.”

If we have seen him in the ring for the final time, Eubank has had a storied career at the top level, with a world title fight against George Groves, and big wins over James DeGale, Liam Smith and of course Benn.
