Eubank, Chris

The Boxer

A unique individual, Eubank will live long in the memory for his fashion sense alone. Eubank is withoutbdoubt one of the UK's greatest super middleweight's, his bouts against Nigel Benn transfixed a nation. A tragic fight with Michael Watson, which left Watson in a coma, effected Eubank thereafter, and his ability to finish off subsequent opponents. A courageous fighter, with a solid chin, the public warmed to Eubank during his later bouts. Some may say that Eubank has never received the respect and recognition of his undoubted ability and bravery.
