Chris Eubank Jnr.

[Craig14]

I see he's fighting on a pro-am card at Hilton Brighton Metropole on June 11th.

Two questions

Is he fighting am or turning pro and Is he any good?

[DIRT SUGAR]

Well it's a step up from scrapping in multi-storey car parks.

Seriously though, from what I heard, like his dad he went off to America to learn the ropes, was trained by Mike McCallum I think and isn't at all bad from what I've read.

He'll have to go some to beat his old man though eh!

[Craig14]

I read he won a regional golden gloves a couple of years ago but then got beat in his first fight at the national golden gloves in the states.

I think he's training with the Mayweahers now.

Do you know if he's turning pro? Guess it would have been in the papers.

Still am at the moment, due to turn pro with Matchroom later this year.

Don't know, sorry mate.

Last I heard he was competing in the 69–75kg class so I guess it will be Middle/Super Middleweight

[Craig14]

Just like daddy.

He bashed up Groves in sparring

[SAPFO]

Lets hope he is an entertaining as his old man.

[JC]

Be interesting to see whether he goes pro in a blaze of publicity with the risk of people whinging and writing him off if he isn't challenging for a world title by his tenth fight or if the Hearns decide to keep their powder dry for a while.

When you hear/see this?

I see Eubank and his old man turn up at Groves' gym the other day on that corny behind the scenes sky show yesterday although they didn't show any footage of the spar.

All we know is that he sparred with Groves and Sky afterwards showed a shot of Groves sitting at the side of the ring in thought. It was most likely staged.

[thepocketrocket]

There seemed a heavy implication that Groves had had a hard time! And I don't see how that benefitted the show......

[yiddo14]

Come on, that show was corny and massively staged. Groves being deep in thought after the spar doesn't mean anyone got bashed.

[coghaugen11]

When he was a teenager with 10 amateur fights he apparently went 50/50 in a war with Zab Judah sparring. That, if true, is abit ill, and sick, too.

[nobby_nobbins]

It's funny - twenty years ago Chris Eubank said he'd break his son's arm rather than see him become a boxer. He didn't want him following his footsteps in the "mug's game".

Chris Eubank (senior) is an attention seeker. He wants the limelight, and now it has faded on him I guess he seeks reflected glory through his son....I am surmising

[allahsnackbar]

eubank has no say over what his son does now though. all he can do is support him

[Tommy Gunn13]

For a bit of (sickening) perspective, Chris Jr was one when his father fought Nigel Benn for the first time. I am getting old. :(

Oh shut up MachoMan...F**K me i feel old now

Yeah, it was absolutely implied in the behind the ropes bit, but it's not hard to imagine Booth and Groves both being complicit in allowing it to be put across that way in order to give Degale some kind of false sense of security, get him feeling more complacent than he already is. Eubank's kid gets a boost to boot, everybody wins.

I think if Groves really had gotten bashed up, we wouldn't have been privy to any of it.

"I will be world champion, it's a fact as far as Im concerned. Ive commited myself to boxing because of the potential earnings in this game, Im desperate to move up in society and a world title belt is the tool that i need. My upbringing consists of humble roots, my dad was taking all the overtime hours available moving iron at Ford Dagenham just to keep a roof over our heads and some eggs and bread to eat or, if we were really lucky, 50p each to get some fish and chips, we never really had breakfast or lunch. This gives me drive to succeed at my chosen career, you know? Ive seen fighters like Dennis Cruz who wasted his talent, i wont make those mistakes. Im a tee-totallist. I had my last drink, smoked my last cigarette, and trained like a maniac-5 and a half years on and Im thinking 'Ive not done this for nothing, you know?'. My dad told me last christmas that my first manager Adonis Torres told him just 3 weeks after i entered the boxing gym for the first time that i might be a future world champion , this was 2 or 3 months before i even had the courage to get in the ring, i never knew this until my dad told me at christmas. Adonis sadly passed away last yr and thats just more determination for me to make him proud, to become world champion. Adonis was the first person i was ever able to trust, in my life, i remember i couldn't afford the gym fees at first but he let me work as a cleaner there and allowed me to join in. Listen, I will be world champion, or they'd have to carry me out trying."
