Chris Eubank Sr breaks into tears and pleads son to cancel Conor Benn fight
Chris Eubank Sr struggled to hold back the tears while discussing his son’s upcoming fight against Conor Benn, claiming Chris Eubank Jr is only in it “for the money”. Benn and Eubank are set to square off against each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend, in what is being described as one of the biggest fights in British history.
But the bout has come under criticism, with many, including Eubank Sr, suggesting the weight discrepancies between the pair are too large. Benn will have to move up from his usual 147lbs welterweight division to the middleweight limit of 160lbs for the contest, while Eubank Jr will have to drop down.
