I’m So Happy Eubank Sr. Is Back In His Son’s Life, Says Tony Bellew

Chris Eubank Sr was spotted walking side-by-side with his son before his clash against Conor Benn despite their public family grudge.

The pair entered the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium together, arm in arm, in a shocking gesture that suggested they had ultimately buried their differences.

“It was special,” said Eubank Jr. of his father’s return. “He needed to be here. All of this is because of what he did – and we did it again. I’m happy to have this man with me,” he said in an after-fight interview.

Former world titlist Eubank Sr had termed his son 'disgusting' for accepting the bout with Benn.

Until a day before their fight, Eubank Sr had not featured in his son's corner since 2019 after he chose to go his own way, a move that significantly disenchanted the boxing icon.

'My old man was always next to me, and it got to a stage where I decided that I needed to walk my path,' said Eubank Jr. earlier this year in a presser.

"He was not happy with that decision. That's the start of it."

Meanwhile, former world champion Tony Bellew has hailed the move and expressed happiness that the duo have decided to bury their hatchet.

“It was theatre of the highest level. It was unbelievable. I'm so happy that his dad's back in his life. Every son needs his father. So I’m happy that they're back together,” said Tony Bellew during a sit-down with the CardPlayer.

Elsewhere, Eubank Jr obtained a unanimous decision win in an exhilarating though brutal key episode, which went the distance. The fight further lived up to the substantial hype. Chris scored 116-112 on the three judges' scorecards.

“I’ve upheld the family name, like we said we were going to, so it’s onwards and upwards,” said Chris Eubank Jr. in a post-fight interview.
