'He still loves me, he's my dad' - Chris Eubank Jr

Chris Eubank Jr has spent his entire life seeking the approval of his father and former world champion Chris Eubank Sr.

But in the days before the biggest fight of his career against Conor Benn - a revival of the family feud which started with their fathers 35 years ago - Eubank Jr cut an isolated figure.

At the final news conference before that grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, Eubank Jr spoke about the "pain" of no longer having a relationship with his dad.

They had, at that point, been estranged for several years with Eubank Sr criticising the match-up.
