Chris Eubank Jr.<\/a> has confirmed his famous father will be ringside for his rematch<\/a> with Conor Benn<\/a> after their stunning arrival for the first fight in April.
Less than six weeks from their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on DAZN<\/a>, Eubank told The Ring<\/a> that it was his father\u2019s presence which galvanised him, and said he will be able to rely upon it again on November 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be at the fight,\u201d Eubank Jr. said. \u201cHe will definitely be at the fight.”<\/p>\n

Eubank and his father, Chris Sr., provided one of the biggest viral moments of the year when DAZN cameras captured their arrival at the stadium hours before the grudge clash.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old two-weight world champion had spent much of the buildup to that fight appealing to his estranged son not to fight Benn at all.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the final press conference ahead of the fight, Eubank Jr. said he and his father had not spoken for years after being inseparable throughout the early stages of his career.<\/p>\n

Eubank Sr. had insisted he would not play any part in the fight at Spurs, but that all changed when he wore a disguise to meet his 36-year-old son on the eve of the fight for an unlikely reunion. Twenty-four hours later, they arrived at the stadium in the same car.<\/p>\n

The moment was played on the big screens all around the stadium, sending the capacity crowd into a frenzy before they later did the ringwalk together. The father took his seat at ringside and watched his son claim a unanimous decision via three identical scores of 116-112.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy camp is in Dubai so he will not be there but … he’s taken a step back from that role in my life, as my trainer and mentor in terms of my boxing,” Eubank said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe hasn’t been doing that for a long time, so that’s not going to all of a sudden change. I have my team, I have my foundation, I have my training methods and I’m going to stick to that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my old man will be there on the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of the 12 rounds, Eubank (35-3, 25 KOs) was forced to dig as deep as he ever has in his career. He was later taken directly to hospital because of severe dehydration.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad gave me those extra few percentages in the first fight when I needed to push through those last few rounds,” he added. \u201cKnowing that my old man is there and he’s showing up, that gives you that little bit of extra pump, that little bit of extra oomph to stay in there and get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Eubank Jr. has confirmed his famous father will be ringside for his rematch with Conor Benn after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6842,6836,6841,6840,6834,6102,6837,6838,6839,6835,6588,6847,6846,6830,6828,6829,6844,6831,6827,6848,6843,101,6845,6826,6833,56,54,55,6832],"class_list":{"0":"post-183171","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-boxing-community","10":"tag-boxing-fights","11":"tag-boxing-history","12":"tag-boxing-interviews","13":"tag-boxing-magazine","14":"tag-boxing-news","15":"tag-boxing-photos","16":"tag-boxing-rankings","17":"tag-boxing-schedule","18":"tag-boxing-videos","19":"tag-boxing-results","20":"tag-disqualification","21":"tag-draw","22":"tag-fight","23":"tag-fighter","24":"tag-fighter-news","25":"tag-knockout","26":"tag-latest-boxing-matches","27":"tag-ring","28":"tag-ring-magazine","29":"tag-split-decision","30":"tag-sports","31":"tag-technical-knockout","32":"tag-the-ring","33":"tag-top-fighters","34":"tag-uk","35":"tag-united-kingdom","36":"tag-unitedkingdom","37":"tag-upcoming-boxing-matches"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
