Chris Eubank SR launched a new attack on his son before his confrontation with Conor Benn.
Eubank Jr and Conor Benn finally settle their differences at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, 35 years after Nigel and Eubank Sr fought for the first time to launch an epic family rivalry.
Eubank SR won his first fight before the Revenge match scored a draw three years later. This weekend, Nigel will be at the edge of the ring to support his son, but Eubank SR promised to stay away after having marked his son in disgrace ” for slapping Conor with an egg during the launch press conference for their fight in February.
“Next Gen”, who was sentenced to a fine of £ 100,000 for the time being, has since admitted that his tense relationship with his father was “painful”.
However, Eubank SR again criticized JR, saying in the sun: “Junior never understood what he was talking about boxing. Boxing consists in being the head of the community.
“People will admire you if you realize what I am trying to do to you.” This is not this (the winning gesture of money) I try to give you.

‘For what? Because I was a gentleman as on each subject that came before me.
EUBANK JR narrowly missed the limit of medium-sized weights before its highly anticipated fight with its long-standing rival, switching the balance to a half-on compared to the threshold of 160 lb during the official weighing on Friday.
EUBANK SR, who was a world champion with a full -fledged two -weight weight, told Mail Sport last week that his son is fighting in the “bad” weight category.
It was angry that Eubank Jr agreed to fight Benn at 157 pounds in October 2022 before the fight was canceled due to Benn to fail two drug tests, and was not happy to see him again at 160 pounds for the fight on Saturday, while he was raising concerns about the health of his son.
“I told my son three years ago, this fight does not happen,” said Eubank SR. “It is the wrong weight. I told him why it shouldn’t happen and why it won’t happen. I was right the last time and I will be right this time.
“We can no longer have Michael Watsons. He is the people’s champion. You are blinded by this circus put by these promoters. Barry (Hearn), your son (Eddie Hearn) said that there was really hatred now. What hatred? It’s just money. There is no hatred.
“Hatred is in the state of mind of promoters. I wish you (Chris Jr), but I know you won’t do it.
