Chris Eubank believes opponent was hypnotized

Chris Eubank once lobbied to cancel a championship match just hours before it began because he believed his opponent had been hypnotized to feel no pain and see punches coming at him in slow motion. Despite being the champion, Eubank was so unsettled by the mind games played by his opponent, Steve Collins, that he lost the match. Collins used hypnosis to convince Eubank that he had superpowers and could dodge punches effortlessly. The psychological effect was so strong that Eubank couldn't perform at his best.
