On Saturday, the 26th of April, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn face off in one of the most highly anticipated all-British boxing bouts in recent memory. With a rivalry that goes back years, Eubank and Benn will finally get to settle things at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in London, three decades on from their fathers’ iconic fights.
The build-up to Eubank Jr vs Benn has been nothing short of chaotic. We have seen things such as insults and heated faceoffs. However, we also saw Eubank Jr slap his opponent with an egg in their first press conference, which set things on a rollercoaster of intensity.
Eubank Jr’s father, Chris Eubank Sr, has also had a big part to play in the hype and build to this fight as he has aggressively come out against his son multiple times, and during a recent appearance, Sr once again went on a tirade trashing his son and even made an extraordinary demand which would stop the fight between his son and Benn taking place.

Chris Eubank Sr Calls for His Son to Have His Boxing Licence Revoked
Eubank Sr went on another furious tirade against his son, this time just days out from the biggest fight of his career
If the pressure on Chris Eubank Jr isn’t already enough, just days out from the biggest fight of his life, the furious tirades which his father, Eubank Sr, has been going on against him will certainly be amping the pressure on him. For weeks now, Eubank Sr has been speaking out against his son, even going as far as to brand him a “disgrace,” for slapping Conor Benn with an egg, and during a recent appearance on SunSport’s No Glove Lost show, he went on yet another damning tirade, this time, demanding that his son has his boxing licence taken off him.
Eubank Sr said the following on No Glove Lost:
“He must have his licence revoked. A lot of money? Some people don’t earn that money during their careers, but it’s nothing to him because of the money that he’s actually earning. But what he’s doing is sending a message which makes a mockery of boxing.”
Eubank Sr’s switch up on his son in recent weeks has been baffling, as even though he came out and condemned Jr’s actions following his egg slap on Benn, he was never this harsh, which may suggest that something in the last few weeks may have gone on behind the scenes between the Eubanks which has escalated their relationship, which has been very publicly deteriorating over the last few years.
WithEubank Jr just days away from the biggest fight of his life, these new comments from his father, will not help his preparation and mindset. It is also possible, though, that his father’s damning comments will have a reverse effect on Eubank Jr, and instead, he will come into the fight as motivated as ever.
