Chris Eubank Jr has emphasized that there is ongoing work needed to improve his relationship with his father. The two had a strained relationship for four years until they reunited on the night of Eubank Jr’s victory over Conor Benn in April. Eubank Sr made a dramatic appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before his son defeated his rival after a challenging 12-round battle.
The upcoming weekend will see the sons of renowned fathers facing off again at the same venue, with Eubank Sr set to be present ringside once more. Despite this, Eubank Jr stressed that their relationship is not completely back to normal. He explained that the process of reconciliation is ongoing and not a quick fix, contrary to what some may assume based on their public appearances.

He highlighted the significance of his father’s support at his upcoming fight and the progress they have made as a family. While they have not discussed fight tactics, Eubank Jr made it clear that his father is no longer involved in his training for the rematch. He emphasized the importance of maintaining boundaries between their personal and professional roles.
