Chris Eubank Jr slammed by his legendary father

Chris Eubank Jr has been slammed by his father Chris Eubank Sr in a surprising rant in an interview.

As we know, Chris Eubank Jr is set to battle Conor Benn later this month. It’s one of the most highly anticipated boxing matches of the year, especially in Britain, largely due to the bad blood that exists between them. Plus, there’s a built-in story that stems from their fathers, who competed against one another many years ago.

In the lead-up to this contest, Chris Eubank Jr took things to a new level – in a strange way – by hitting Benn with an egg during their recent face-off. It comes after the bout was supposed to happen a few years back but didn’t as a result of Benn picking up a doping suspension.

Many have recently been wondering where Chris Eubank Sr is in all of this. Well, as it turns out, he isn’t exactly on good terms with his son – far from it, infact.

Chris Eubank Jr slammed by his father

“Junior, you’re smashing an egg against this guy’s face… I taught you that? I didn’t teach you that. Who taught you that? Did Karen teach you that?”

“That’s disgraceful! I’m gonna stand in your corner? You must be mad! I would never be in your corner, you’re a disgrace!”

“These promoters have no care for boxing and the standards of boxing and the noble art that boxing is. No bad language, no hitting people with eggs and then actually promoting it. Is this what we are now?

“Because if it’s who we are, it’s who your children are going to be.”
