IN A RECENT appearance on Talksport, Chris Eubank Snr sparked serious concern over his wellbeing and mental health.
Over the course of a rambling and discursive hour-long interview with Simon Jordan and Jim White, Eubank took the opportunity to voice serious criticisms of his son, Chris Eubank Jnr, even up to the point of agreeing with an earlier assessment by Jordan that his own son is a “charlatan.”
Clearly, the breach between the Eubanks is deep and far-reaching, what with Eubank Snr accusing his son of refusing to listen to advice when it comes to his approach to his craft, while revealing that the reason he is no longer part of his son’s training team is because the latter sent him a letter declaring that he and not his father is in charge of things now.
