Chris Eubank Sr has now called for the boxing world to boycott his son's fight with Conor Benn over fears he could suffer brain damage.
His son Chris Eubank Jr will take to the ring this weekend in a huge all-British clash with long-term rival Benn at London's O2 arena. The pair have agreed to a huge bout which will take place 32 years on from when their fathers first met in the ring during a classic middleweight rivalry.
Eubank's father has expressed concerns over his son accepting the fight, which have come from Eubank Jr being required to cut to 157lb for the contest which is his lowest weight since he was 18-years-old. He threatened to pull his son out from the fight, but Eubank Jr later allayed fears and refused to grant his father's wishes.
