But first, he was tasked with leathering former politician Balls with body shots for 20 seconds straight.
Eubank appeared to pull his punches as Balls winced in pain but miraculously heard the final bell.
The son of a legend has not boxed since his rematch victory over Liam Smith, 35, last September.
So it will be over one year out the ring by the time he returns against Pole Kamil Szeremeta, 34, in Riyadh.
Eubank said: “This is a very important fight for me to get back in the swing of things, 34-years-old, 35 next month, no this month September.
“So this is kind of, we’re coming into the final chapter, my last three or four years in the game.
“I’ve got to make a statement, I’ve got to go out there and perform and win these big fights each and every time now because these are like my legacy fights. What people remember me for.”
Eubank was linked with a mega-fight against Canelo Alvarez, 34, and also a rematch with Billy Joe Saunders, 35.

But asked if he can beat Szeremeta, he said: “Absolutely. He’s a tough opponent from Poland he is the type of guy that is perfect for a guy who’s been out the ring for a year, come back.
“He’s a tough guy, he’s got a great record I think he’s got 24 wins, two losses. Yeah, I’m excited.”
