The Eubank ‘Father Son’ Fallout Was A Charade, Says Carl Froch

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."

However, former world champion Carl Froch has described the whole ordeal as a charade.

“Eubank Sr turned up to the fight, jumped out of the van, everyone loved it. It was quite nice to see him there. But does that mean that everything Eubank Sr said about the fight beforehand was a farce? And an infringement of the rules and wrong? Does that mean that it was all just a ploy to create this false narrative? So he {Eubank Sr} doesn't think that it was rule-breaking and it shouldn't happen and it's disgraceful that he {Eubank Jr} smacked Benn with an egg. It was just all a charade,” said Carl Froch during an exclusive sit-down with CoinPoker.

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 entire 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.
