Didn't he get arresed for driving round in a van outside the houses of parliament whilst protesting the war?

I imagine him swanning around Brighton all day inspecting the place while wearing riding jodphers and wearing a monacle - what's he doing with himself, anyone know?

You can ask him yourself mate.

I think he parked his Lorry outside the gates and refused to move it.

Of course there has been alot of rumours about financial problems and a one-off bout (for awesome money). However, personally I don't believe them - Eubank is extravengant, but IMO is an intelligent person who KNOWS the value of money - This might sound like a shocking statement, but IMO Eubank's feet are firmly on the ground. He might lead and extrordinary lifestyle, but I think he can afford it.

I do think he misses the sport (many of the things he talked about in his documentary was who he was a fighter - quite the opposite to his early interviews). I also wouldn't be at all surprise if he made a comeback, but a more serious one than rumoured - he loves that limelight too much.

He had an excellent cameo in The Calcium Kid recently.

He is 38 although he looks in good shape. Who would you match him with and at what weight?

I think a come back at light -heavyweight would be best although I just can't see it happening.

I refuthe to loothe.

Did anybody ever watch At Home with the Eubanks on channel five when it was on?

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 17 Jul 2004, 18:31

I think should Eubank comeback it would probably be a Cruiserweight - after his showings against Thompson, he would have loved to have seen Eubank challenge Nelson. I think as Nelson isn't quite as physically strong as Thompson it would have been a very intriguing fight.

I think there are a few old stagers who still compete at a high level who Eubank would probably compete with - the likes of Hill, Lalonde, and Thompson would be intriguing.

I would give Eubank and outside chance of beating Tiozzo at Light Heavyweight also. I don't think it will happen, although I wouldn't be surprised - he never did formally retire.

I watched all of the Eubank docu soap - if you a fan of his style and find him funny then I recommend buying the DVD - I don't think a new series has been commisioned. It was a funny show (IMO). It was on At home with the Eubanks where he seemed to be discussing his old proffesion with great enjoyment and pride - he sounded like he missed it dearly.

Imagine if he got back in the ring with Benn! Wow! Could anyone see it happening. They'd have to both be paid an absolute fortune.

I dunno. What with Eubank refuthing to loothe, it could be a good 'un.

KOJOE90 · Post by **KOJOE90** » 18 Jul 2004, 07:46

I would not like to see Eubank back in the ring, I would hate to see him get hurt or embaressed.

Although a British Title at Cruiserweight may not be out of the question.

Did you not watch the Gladiator program featuring Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank? It was originally showed a good while ago and has since been repeated a few times.

I can well imagine Eubank being skint, he's a man who loves the finer things in life, and likes to live high off the hog, why else would he spend a fortune on a ridiculous truck and walk around dressed like Lord Snooty?

yeah i saw outside the hammersmith apollo before christmas... black hummer, got the 1 KO number plate, so presumably he has seen sense and got rid of that huge truck for something more economical!!!!

LOL , Eubank must be the only guy in the world who looks for a more economical car and gets a 10mpg hummer

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 05 Jan 2005, 11:34

A Hummer is probably more expensive than what he had before. I think they cost 300 grand before customisation.

Overpriced, over-engined, over-the-top ecological disasters. I still want one, mind.

Yeah I wouldn't say no to a hummer either!
