Actually, not really strictly true however Nathaniel Wilson to play Chris Eubank sr (his father) in a boxing movie surrounding the 1991 fight with Michael Watson

Eubank 'the third best British SM'.

Nice of the journalist to clarify that for us.

"He also has three other children Sebastian, 15, Emily, 12, and Joseph, 10."

Sebastian is 15?

"Chris Eubank ’s estranged son will play his boxing superstar dad in a new movie - after the pair healed their 27-year rift."

Estranged son. Healed rift. Same paragraph. Cannot label him as estranged son if you are saying they healed the rift

......let's hope Benn arrives at the premiere in shape and without a ticket

I was hoping it would be the youth hosteling

looking forward to this film. I reckon it's going to be good. Heard Steve Collins has had something to do with it

I think the budget is 3 million so its not going to be a cheap B docu movie.

I imagine Eubank Sr will gatecrash production insisting he plays ever character in the movie like Eddie Murphy

I wonder if it'll go into much depth about the killer punch angle technique Chris used?

I can almost hear someone saying "It is not a movie. It is a cinematic exposition of the pugilistic art"...

Hilarious, how did i miss that at the time...

I'm hoping that the ending involves Eubank striding away from a burning articulated truck saying

"The reason why I'm such a successful pugilist is that no one knows my limitations better than me."

It's only £49.99 on itv box office. BARGAIN.

Indeed

No idea, just enjoy it now though.

It's up there with the Lacy lost to Calzaghe cause of the altitude in Manchester thread.
