Chris Eubank Jr has emphasized that there is ongoing effort needed to improve his relationship with his father. There was a period of four years where Eubank Jr had minimal communication with his father until they reconciled on the evening of Eubank Jr’s victory over Conor Benn in April. Eubank Sr made a grand entrance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before his son triumphed over his rival in a grueling 12-round battle.
The duo will reunite at the same venue this weekend, with Eubank Sr expected to be present ringside once again. However, Eubank Jr stressed that their relationship is a work in progress. He mentioned in an interview with Mail Online that the process of rekindling their bond is not instantaneous, and they are striving to return to the harmonious connection they once shared many years ago.
Eubank Jr expressed confidence that they will eventually reach a better place in their relationship. He highlighted the significance of his father’s support at his upcoming fight and the positive impact it has had on their family dynamics. Despite the challenges they have faced, Eubank Jr believes in the possibility of reconciliation and unity for those who may be experiencing similar family estrangements.
