“Do you know what it is? People lose a few times and they retire, so when you lose a few times and you don’t retire and you’re still doing well, people just expect you to,” Eggington said of calling it a day. “I was talking to my son the other day, and he was talking about the boxing, and I was like, ‘When you’ve had as many fights as me and you’ve been around as long as me, you don’t get many opportunities. And he was like, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Because people retire.’ He went, ‘Well, why do they retire?’ He didn’t say anything crazy, but it made us think – it’s the truth – why do they retire? You don’t have to, just because it’s a done thing because you’ve lost two or three or four and you retire now. If anything, I’ve broken that chain.
