I see him regularly around and he still drives his big rig and Hummer, so I think that's a no.

Although he has had a couple of property deals that went a bit bad.

If you mean the one in Hove by the station, it's now demolished and is due for re-development.

Eubanks been living in Dubai for the past 2 yrs because he cant afford to live in UK or US --his wife divorced him 2 yrs ago and lives in Las Vegas with his kids and a new man

Eubanks mom lives in New York and his brothers in Brighton --He's buggered and was on a boxing radio show here in Dubai lastnight and said he's stayed out of the UK public eye for 4 yrs because At home with the eubanks was all he'd wanted for 13 yrs to show the public what he was really like and if he had to live like a monk forever more he wouldn't mind !! He does alot of charity work in Africa where he gets free flights etc but actually does help build homes and shit

Some great quotes--

"When you get involved with others and their problems, suddenly yours don't seem so overwhelming. Now that's bouncing back in the best of ways, because you're not the only one who benefits. And it can be as simple as being the listening ear for another's frustrations.

"Giving of yourself is the best gift of all because it comes back in so many ways."

"More often than not, people are more concerned with what's wrong with themselves than they are with what's wrong with you. They don't spend all their time looking at you trying to discover your weaknesses.

"The only real observer of your problems is you. And you know something? You're not half bad."

"fThe way you look at a situation has a lot to do with how you respond to it. It's the old question of whether the glass is half full or half empty. A little creative thinking and a concious effort to see things in a positive way can turn things around. The ordinary becomes the extraordinary. A stumbling block becomes a stepping stone."

"Be glad for the challenges that come into your life. They're difficult to appreciate when you're trying to deal with them. But those are the very times when you grow.

"Life is a series of good things and not so good things, and you need the bad to appreciate the good. Hard times build character. Negative events become positive lessons that better equip you to cope with future trials.

"And it's during the hard times that you really get to know yourself. You are forced to look closer at yourself to find the hidden reserves of strength it takes to overcome adversity.

"No person or thing can make you happy. You have to find happiness and joy within yourself."

"The human spirit is remarkably resilient. We fall down - or get knocked down - yet somehow we manage to bounce back. But it can be hard, you just have to look deep within yourself."

I missed it, so can't be sure, but I think that's the one. He lost it because of issues that's probably not appropriate to go into here.

He's divorced from his wife now. His son trains with him at a Gym in Brighton, and looks fairly decent.

He's imaginately called Chris.

Think he's been spinning porkies mate as I see him quite often around Brighton and he's been arrested twice in the UK recently.

Probably the best speach i have ever heard from Eubank.

Isn't his living out of the Country for a few years something to do with him getting away from his creditors?

Even though non of us know & it's none of anyones business, i thought his Missus was better than to leave a sinking ship, i mean she must have knew what he was like and she picks the time to leave him when he's broke and retired.

Anyway, i read recently he said he'll be back in the UK in the next five years or so, so i'm sure we havn't heard the last of him.

If he's flat broke they could trot him out against Enzo. :o :o

Eubank vs Enzo - now that is box office! And I'd pick Eubank.

I have seen him driving around Chelsea and he was doing some sort of work on Bond Street for a few months up until a month or two ago as his truck was parked there every day.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain the "I live in Dubai" is just Eubank's usual tales.

I see him regularly in and around Brighton. And, as I said above, Chris Jr isn't in Vegas. He trains in Brighton. You gotta take most things he says with a pinch of salt.

Saw him quite regularly in South Kensington/Knightsbridge a few months ago also. Well saw his big truck, not him!

is eubank actually living with a new man, or did you mean he was a new man?

Chris Eubank Jnr has been training at Top Rank Gym for the past year and a half and is an arrogant dickhead, he trains with Carlos De Leon Jnr and Mike McCallum has taken over their training. He will never make it because he's too wild and has no mental control. Seb Eubank is a cool kid and no longer speaks to his dad.

You can see Eubank Jnr's first amateur fight at a Nevada club show on youtube, do a search.

He trains at Cheeetahs in the King Alfred centre in Hove as well.

I have heard he's arrogant but haven't spoken to him so can't say myself. Think he got arrested a while back, exactly why escapes me.
