Liam Williams , one of Wales ' best boxers of the past two decades , says he has retired from the sport.
The 32-year-old says he is worried about taking further blows to the head and suffering further damage to his brain.
Williams says he realised after his last fight - a first round KO defeat by Hamzah Sheeraz in February - that he "had taken too much" and does not want to "just fight for money" and "jeopardise his future with his family".
Welshman says he was concussed in a sparring session ahead of facing Eubank Jr.
Williams says a doctor told him not to fight the Welshman as he had been concussed again.
Williams retires with a 25 -5-1 record, with 20 of his 25 wins coming via KO or stoppage.
Williams does not rule out a return to boxing as a trainer, but says he is in no rush.
