Chris eubank vs Connor Benn
The sons of British boxing legends Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn are set to reignite an historic family rivalry which captured the attention of the nation during the 1990s.
On Friday morning, both men joined talkSPORT Breakfast and Eubank Jr revealed a potentially dramatic change to his training team.
Asked if Roy Jones Jr will be in his corner as usual, Eubank Jr told talkSPORT Breakfast: “That is yet to be decided.
“With this type of fight I would actually like my old man to be in the corner with me.
“I would, I would like that.
In contrast, Benn revealed his father cannot wait to get involved.
“Listen, dad’s been driving me mad every single day,’ Conor told talkSPORT when asked about Nigel.
“He says, ‘When am I coming over? When am I coming over?’
Badge
Eubank would frequently wear a police sheriff badge when he attended his son’s fights and sparring sessions as he vowed to protect and serve the boxers in the ring.
Chris Eubank has been spotted in the past allegedly placing a faux parking ticket on his car to deter wardens from slapping him with a penalty notice.
And it seemed that the boxer, 53, was playing fast and loose with the Highway Code again on Wednesday, as he stopped his £370k Rolls Royce in a loading bay to nip off and run errands around Mayfair, London.
The former sportsman was dressed in a dapper suit for the outing, which saw him park the flashy wheels in the 20 minute bay, which is reserved for goods vehicles to load and unload heavy items.
