Chris Eubank SR’s Feud with Son explained and why he wants to cancel Conor Benn Fight

Published

April 25, 2025

Chris Eubank SR did not hide his opposition to his son’s fight with Conor Bennem on Saturday, calling for a showdown to scrap. After playing an instrumental role in the development of Chris Eubanka Jr in a square circle, Eubank’s senior Eubank was once a ubiquitous presence in the Junior’s Corner corner, issuing advice and using his extensive experience from his own time as a two -time world champion.

However, from 2019 he was noticeably absent in his son’s boxer’s career. Thinking about dynamics with the father, said Eubank Jr Mirror fight Last year: “There is no role that is quite crazy, because for a huge part of my career he was a huge part of everything, the business side, press conferences, training … He was always there, and now he is not on any of them.”

Delving into the reasons for moving away from the influence of my father, the 35-year-old added: “I had to make this passage. I had to get out of this cycle because I felt that it did not work and as my own man, I learned enough and did enough in the game to walk my own path and not follow someone else.

“At the moment he has problems with separating business, boxing and coaching from being only my dad. For so many reasons that he was my dad, so when there is no, he doesn’t know what to do, that’s what he is dealing with.

“I think it will take me from boxing to come back to my life. I hope it is not, but I see it. I appreciate everything he did and everything he taught me throughout my life and career, but I want to be my man and that’s what I do now.”

The death of brother Eubanka Jra, Sebastian, in 2021 “also destroyed a gigantic role” of the already tense relationship of Pugilist with his father. Sebastian died in 2021 after a heart attack in Dubai, and Eubank Jr told the breast of Morgan, as it influenced his relationship with his dad.

He said: “You have a situation when my brother leaves. It influenced him deeply – it affected us all. Mental health is true. This incident, combined with the fact that we have not seen the eye anymore, destroyed a gigantic part of the relationship. And it still does not seem to recover.”

Meanwhile, the decision of Eubank Jr to continue her family’s legacy by facing Benn, like the eminent feud of their fathers in the 90s, did not succumb to Eubank Srowik, and now the 58-year-old won the title of WBO Middle Humidly after defeating Nigel Benn by the ninth round of TKO in 1990.

However, the disapproval of Eubank SR does not result from their historical competition, but from a significant difference in weight class between his son and Nigel. Because most of the Eubank JR career spent in Middle Wweight and Benn’s reputation grow in the category of lighter welterweight, there is a significant difference in size.

The upcoming fight on Saturday will take place in 160 pounds, with a strict hydration clause that forbids or a boxer gaining over 10 pounds before the night of fighting, but Eubank SR still has powerful fears. He said: “The rules are that you don’t do the wrong weight.

“Weights are fighting for the same weights.” He added: “They break the rules. And when you break the rules, we have a country of peacocks. It’s Great Britain. We have developed boxing. So stick to the rules.”

Despite the emotional branch of olives from Eubank Jr, it seems unlikely that his dad participates in his fight on Saturday evening. Elsewhere at Morgan’s uncertainty, he insisted: “I am here. I am preparing for the biggest fight in my life.

“If you want to be next to me, like his father next to him, we can do it together. If not, without massive feelings, I will do a job for you – do not worry about it. He is my vintage man. It does not matter if I only talk to him only on the day I die. I will always love him. He taught me everything. He doesn’t want to fight.”

Recently, there has been positive achievements in their rocky relationship, meeting at the party’s fight last month. Eubank SR said at that time Ring magazine: “The moment was significant. I love my son, just like I love all my children.

“Seeing him again, I could say that he grew up. On his face there is wisdom and an attitude that was not before. No matter what happened, I will always have JR back.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
