"On the face of it, it seems like a really kind gesture from Chris, but, unfortunately, he has no right to make those sort of claims," Hennessy explained. "Once he has made three defences of the title, and won it outright, he can do what he wants with it. It will be his to keep. But, until then, anything he says in relation to handing the belt over to Nick has to be viewed, in my opinion, as pure opportunism."Blackwell had made two successful title defences before meeting Eubank Jr. in March. He had been unbeaten since October 2013 going into his third defence, which was stopped in the 10th round. Eubank Jr will return to the ring on June 25 against Tom Doran at the O2 Arena in London, on the undercard of the Anthony Joshua v Dominic Breazale IBF title fight. https://twitter.com/ChrisEubankJr/status/733357121748774912
