Chris Eubank slams Chris Eubank Jr over split and admits son is a 'charlatan'

Legendary boxer Chris Eubank accepted the assessment his son is a "charlatan" and slammed him for his actions while using the iconic family name in recent years.

Chris Jr is a top fighter in his own right, but has never won full world honours and has lost three of his major steps up against world level opposition. Last year, he signed to fight Conor Benn in a family grudge match that harkened back to the rivalry between his dad and Nigel Benn from the '90s, but the career-low weight of 157lb caused a falling out between father and son.

Eubank Sr has said that his son "never listens" and believes that he doesn't even spar ahead of fights nowadays, claiming that former heavyweight champion David Haye warned him of worrying recent training. Eubank Jr was stopped by Liam Smith earlier this year, much to his father's annoyance and embarrassment.
