Eddie really has changed his tune over the last few weeks hasn't he?

You imagine he's preparing for a 6-12 month ban and the rehabilitation journey of Conor Benn.

There is clearly nothing significant that Conor can present to avoid a ban but they are lawyering up to reduce the impact.

Sad to see Eubank Mentally unwell. off his rocker.

Wow

Poor guy - one of my heroes growing up. Just looks a complete shell and heartbroken. Remembering not that long ago doing a youtube segment at a KFC and he just looked completely different. This reminds me a bit of Audley Harrison - not as incoherent but looks unstable.

Is he aving a larf or is this for real ?
Worrying either way .

I think he needs help.

Eubank has needed help for years, clearly suffers from delusional and doesn't really live in the real world, his loved ones need to get him some help, losing Seb must've destroyed him and won't have helped matters, people need to start seeing him for what he is, an unwell man, harmless but not just some eccentric that gets wheeled out for entertainment

Wasn't he in some mental health place? He might be on powerful medication.

I agree but I also disagree. I see a very different person in the video to the Eubank on the celebrity rounds even only a couple of years ago. He had some left field views and eccentric character throughout his life - sometimes spoke sense, sometimes spoke with very out there views - with a good ability also to take the piss out himself.

That video he looked a shell, gaunt and there was a change in his eyes. That video was of an unwell man who needs help. I think the Eubank on I'm a celeb was quite stable, eccentric, left field yes, but stable. The loss of his son has had a huge impact naturally.

Yeah - I agree.

I watched Eubank in Masterchef a few months back and thought he was the same as usual. He did just serve a boiled vegetable in one of the rounds.

He’s clearly not well at the moment. Eddie gave TalkSPORT grief for having him recently. I thought he was clutching at straws but it seems clear now that he’s mentally in a real bad place. Spencer Oliver defended having him on TalkSPORT. Hopefully he’ll watch some of the video and realise just how bad of a place Senior is in currently.

I thought they'd restart his career in Australia with his old man's link there .

It's very simple, he's just a tap. To be turned on if needed.

To announce you have someone like that acting for you is a bold statement, but solicitors are paid by the hour - unless he's on sort of retainer, which I strongly suspect he isn't.

If there is work to be done, the tap will be turned on too and then there are fees to be paid.


I strongly suspect no tap will be turned and this will all end with a 12 month ban and everyone claiming it's accidental.

I agree, and I think it is wrong of Rob Moore to air that interview. His guest is clearly not in a healthy state of mind and is grief stricken. Moore put his own business interests over a fellow man's well being. For shame.

Wow ,, H e clearly looks like he's lost the plot ,, that fella looked distinctly uncomfortable and worried at times he done the best thing kept Chris talking about himself , watching times there when he was off with the fairies , i'm thinking this guy is only a couple of minuites off tying him down and getting the blow torch out to show the interviewer what pain is about .

The unfortunate thing is they should'nt really be doing these interviews because he obviously has issues , but they will for the simple reason we will watch them , if only to see if he's got worse or whats going to happen next .

The crying shame of it all is Chris Eubank snr , Genuinly seems like a really nice bloke ,, Ok he's out there , always has been , but he's always came across has a decent human being ,,

That video was a really uncomfortable watch. I don’t want to speculate too much, but I used to go out with a girl who had bipolar and had to be sectioned on a few occasions. Very similar mannerisms. Chris is clearly not well, whatever it is.

chris has great teeth

Jeez . just watched another part of this interview , he really is standing on the edge , Just hope he does'nt topple the wrong way , think its time for his familly to step in and get him help wether he wants it or not , he's not fully gone but definetly on the way .

I have a feeling he must be struggling, he lost his fortune, probably carries a lot of guilt about Michael Watson which he admitted too, lost his son, then was really frightened about Chris Jr melting down with all sorts of dehydration clauses whilst Connor is using drugs.

I don't think it's cricket that the fella interviewed him and put it all over YouTube. Senior needs some good folks around him to get him grounded. Hope he gets better though, if anyone can overcome it, it's him. He's a warrior.

Herol Graham got really bad too. They both took some heavy shots over the years too. Definitely think his family and mates just need to help him out.

I completely agree. During the course of that interview he will have realised that Eubank Snr is not in a good place, but he then chose to upload that interview anyway. That's in very poor taste, I think. I watched a couple of minute's and realised that something isn't quite right and didn't watch the rest. I sincerely hope Eubank Snr gets the support he needs.

I will say it how it is … I thought it was f*cking disgusting that the interview was published and I think boxing should completely blank the absolute pr*ck who interviewed Chris Snr it is not as if he was getting a sensational interview for the good and benefit of boxing…

The bloke should hang his head in shame.

Boxing is a family, and we have a duty to look
after our own.

How is boxing a family?

It's one of the most ruthless businesses in the world.

No.

Boxing is one of the most exploitative sports going so we shouldnt look at this through rose tinted spectacles.

It may be that this triggers some help for Eubank - I am not sure how it would work as he isn't the sort of bloke to take advice on board.

I think that any help would need to be forced and this interview may facilitate that.
