Junior Eubank clarifies Chris Sr's participation in Conor Benn's re-match, disclosing his current relationship status.
Chris Eubank Jr has made some significant changes to his training team for his upcoming rematch with Conor Benn. The British boxer has recruited Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre and Esau Dieguez as his trainers, marking a departure from his previous setup.
McIntyre, who has been working with Terence Crawford, guided Eubank Jr to a career-best win over Liam Smith in 2023. The duo is currently preparing in a training camp in Dubai ahead of the November 15 rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Eubank Jr's relationship with McIntyre turned sour when the boxer opted to go his own way. However, the pair seems to have put their differences aside for the upcoming fight.
Interestingly, Eubank Jr's father, Chris Eubank Sr, will be in attendance at the rematch, but he will not be a part of his son's training team. The two have improved their relationship recently, with Eubank Jr Sr present at his son's inaugural encounter with Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.
The first encounter between Eubank Jr and Benn was marked by controversy, with Eubank Jr accusing promoter Eddie Hearn of various transgressions. These allegations include contract breaches, fines, sabotaged weigh-in, biased commentary, and refereeing. Hearn, however, denies these claims and has threatened legal action against Eubank Jr.
Despite the controversy, Eubank Jr emerged victorious in their previous fight, defeating Benn via unanimous decision. The site of the rematch will be the same as the first encounter.
In a recent development, Eubank Jr and his father are set to film a TV show together tomorrow. This marks a positive step in their relationship, which had been strained for two years following an acrimonious split.
The rematch between Eubank Jr and Benn promises to be an exciting event, with McIntyre potentially in contention for Trainer of the Year if Eubank Jr secures a victory. Terence Crawford, whom McIntyre recently worked with, won a historic victory over Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night, adding another feather to McIntyre's cap.
As the rematch approaches, both boxers have been engaging in heated exchanges, with a recent press conference seeing a heated exchange between the two. The boxing world eagerly awaits the rematch, with fans hoping for another thrilling contest.
