AMID the vast tapestry of dramatic and memorable nights that have played out in boxing rings around the world, none has been more dramatic or memorable than the night Chris Eubank met Michael Watson at White Hart Lane, north London, on September 21 1991.

This fight changed boxing forever and doubtless left all involved and many in attendance questioning their consciences, seeking and struggling to find justification for a sport whose descent into hell they’d just witnessed.

In a recent episode of Piers Morgan’s “Life Stories” on ITV, Eubank was reduced to tears while recounting this life altering event, in a sight made all the more powerful by Michael Watson’s presence in the audience.
