Chris Eubank Jnr, with Senior by his side, on his best behavior

Eubank Jnr, however, can elevate the most mundane conversation within seconds. Ask him if he respects his opponent, for example, and he’ll respond with an explanation about the complexities of the scumbag nature of promoters – or, if he’s really in the mood, make allegations about those promoters blocking his ambulance. He can add sobering realism, too: Yes, the weight-making is a drag, but please don’t compare that to the death of my brother or the estrangement from my dad.
