Chris Eubank Sr. Labels Son 'Disgrace' Ahead of Fight

Chris Eubank Jr. has revealed deep pain over his fractured relationship with his father, Chris Eubank Sr., who publicly condemned Jr.'s recent behavior, including an infamous incident where he smashed an egg on rival Conor Benn's face during a press conference. The elder Eubank labeled his son a 'disgrace' and declared he would never support him in the ring, intensifying the emotional stakes ahead of Eubank Jr.'s high-profile bout with Benn, whose own father, Nigel Benn, was Eubank Sr.'s historic rival. The public rift between father and son has added a complex, personal dimension to a fight already steeped in family legacy and boxing history. The situation was further inflamed during a heated press conference where Eubank Jr. clashed with promoter Eddie Hearn, prompting Hearn to walk out, and underscored ongoing tensions within both the Eubank family and the boxing community. The feud between the Eubank and Benn families, which began in the 1990s, now continues with a new generation, but is complicated by the personal estrangement and public rebukes from Eubank Sr. against his son. This has turned what was expected to be a continuation of a classic rivalry into a highly personal and emotionally charged showdown.
