Eubank Jr. Discusses Fractured Relationship with Father Ahead of Fight

Ahead of the anticipated fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn on April 26, Eubank Jr has revealed the emotional strain in his relationship with his father, Chris Eubank Sr. The rift intensified following the tragic death of Eubank Jr's brother, Sebastian, in 2021, which deeply affected both men. Eubank Jr expressed a desire to step out of his father's shadow, leading to a separation that his father has struggled to accept. While rival Nigel Benn will be present to support his son, Eubank Sr's absence from the upcoming match has raised concerns for Eubank Jr. The younger Eubank has also faced repercussions for his actions during the press events, including a £100,000 fine for slapping Benn with an egg, which has contributed to the mounting pressure. Despite these challenges, Eubank Jr remains hopeful for reconciliation with his father before the fight.
