Boxers Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn went head -to -head in the pIrish Morgan Uncensored Studio in the run -up to their April match. But despite the fact that the interview got so heated that they had to be pulled apart by security, Benn revealed that he wanted to see the estranged father of Eubank JR in the corner of his competitor.
Look at the full interview about Piers Morgan Uncensored’s YouTube channel on Friday, March 14 from 7pm.
Asked what the message of Eubank JR had for his boxing legend, who was alienated from his son, he said: “I’m here. I get ready for the greatest struggle in my life. If you want to be next to me like His Father next to Him, we can do it together. If not, no hard feelings, I will do the job for you, don’t worry about it … he is my old man. It doesn’t matter if I don’t talk to him until the day I die. I’m always going to love him. He taught me everything … As far as I know, He doesn’t want this fight to continue. ‘
He tells Piers that he has been estranged from his father for a few years, and he further explained how the split began. He has the special edition of Piers Morgan Uncensored, “It came to a stage where I had to walk out of the shade completely. It’s a big shadow … I realized that I have to separate myself from this enormous character that is always next to me. He is different, his Father makes him do his own thing, and you know, jump in and sink or swim. My old man was always, always next to me. I came to a stage where I decided to walk my own way. He was not happy with the decision. This is the beginning of it. Then you have a situation with my brother who passed away, who influenced him deeply, influenced us all … Mental health is a real thing. The incident, together with the fact that we have not seen eye on eye, has destroyed a large part of the relationship, and unfortunately it has not recovered. ‘
Despite baptizing an ‘idiot’ during their ominous studio collision, Benn, who has a close relationship with his own father, Nigel Benn, admitted that he wanted to see Eubank SRC during the battle.
He said, ‘My dad loves me, regardless of. My dad is proud of me, regardless of, the relationship I have with my dad is out of box. It’s funny because my dad doesn’t really, my dad doesn’t really care what I do in my career. My dad cares more for me as a husband and my happiness … My father is my hero. “
Benn added: ‘It’s actually a fact that your father doesn’t like you, otherwise he would be here … But what I try to tell you, it’s nice to see your dad in your corner. Me is doing well, because at the moment he thinks I will knock you out. Again, a fact. I’m not saying it’s funny, that’s what your dad believes, it’s out there.
“But I really think I’m sarcastic. We are where we are because of our fathers. They laid the foundation. We are like our fathers. We are the double and carbon copy of our dads. It would be great to see your father in your corner, and you restore that relationship, and whatever comes between you, it will be wonderful to see, and I mean that it comes from my heart, not sarcastic. I mean what I say.
Eubank Jr. said, “It’s hard to believe … I have to be careful, I don’t want you to pull me into something here.”
