Chris Eubank Sr now calls for a ‘boycott’ of Son’s fight against Benn



Chris Eubank Sr has spoken out once again about his son’s war with Conor Benn – a fight that rekindles a family feud started by Senior and Nigel Benn three decades ago.

Despite the seemingly perfect plot for the semifinals, two boxers in different weight classes and that has commanded most of the conversation surrounding it. Chris Eubank Jr will have to come in 3lb less than he normally would and Benn will gain 10lb to reach the agreed 157lb weight.

While Eubank Jr said he could safely do it and the British Boxing Control Board was watching him, one man disagreed – his father. Initially, Senior was supposed to be in his son’s corner for the fight, but he was strongly opposed instead.

With the excuse that cutting weight is dangerous, Eubank Sr has now gone out several times to beg those involved to pull the fight. Despite the relatively optimistic words from Junior that his father might be coming, that doesn’t seem to have happened.

In a statement released to the podcast The Fight is Right hosted by Tunde Ajayi and Spender Fearon, Eubank Sr continued to decline.
