Chris Eubank Jr has expressed that there is still progress to be made in his relationship with his father. The two had a strained relationship for four years until they reconciled on the night of Eubank Jr’s victory over Conor Benn in April. Eubank Sr made a grand entrance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before his son triumphed over his rival in a tough 12-round battle.
This weekend, Eubank Jr and his father will reunite at the same venue, with Eubank Sr returning to ringside. However, Eubank Jr emphasized that their relationship is a work in progress and not fully restored to its former state. He mentioned that the journey to mend their bond is ongoing and requires time and effort to return to how things were before the issues arose many years ago.
Looking ahead, Eubank Jr expressed confidence that they will eventually overcome their differences. He acknowledged the significance of his father’s support at his upcoming fight, highlighting the positive steps they have taken as a family by spending time together, reminiscing about the past, and sharing meals.
Eubank Jr encouraged others facing similar family conflicts to remain hopeful, emphasizing the possibility of reconciliation. Despite the improvements in their relationship, he revealed that they have not discussed fight tactics for the rematch, indicating a separation between his father’s involvement in training and their familial bond.
The highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 15, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fans can catch the fight on DAZN PPV for £24.99 or access it for free with a DAZN Ultimate plan.
