Chris Eubank Jr’s dad<\/a> has revealed that his son’s life hung “in the balance” following his middleweight clash with Conor Benn. The 35 year old boxer was whisked off to hospital after his unanimous decision win at Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur Stadium, and was discharged on Monday.<\/p>\n

Benn extended his well wishes to his adversary upon hearing of his hospitalisation.<\/a> Now, Chris Eubank Sr has shed light on the gravity of the situation.<\/p>\n

“We were in the ambulance,<\/a> the sirens, the horns are, beeping the chaos,” Eubank Sr shared on his Call Chris Eubank YouTube show. “My son Junior is very proud. His looks like a blown up football almost twice the size and he’ll never let you see that because he’s proud”.<\/p>\n

“People don’t know but my son is touch and go and the only way we’re going to know whether he’s going to be okay is after the CT scans. He suffered mostly in the hospital because of dehydration even though the beating was severe and that’s why he was in such discomfort for 24, 30 hours.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want my son to have to go through that again. He doesn’t know that his life was in the balance neither does he care.”, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Benn, who paid a visit to his opponent in hospital, had earlier commended Eubank Sr after their match. “I looked at Chris Sr, I grabbed him by the neck and I said, ‘Mate, I’m so happy that you’re here’,” he recounted.<\/p>\n

“Because aside from everything else, all the noise, the promotion and the fight, your relationship with your dad never goes, that’s always there, it’s long-standing. If this has brought those two together, then it’s worth its weight in gold.”<\/p>\n

Eubank Sr also recounted the cunning disguise he used to sneak into the fight, which was unanimously scored 116-112 for his son by all three judges. “Junior called and he said, ‘I didn’t want to call dad because I can’t hear anything negative’,” he revealed.<\/p>\n

“I said to Junior, ‘okay all right so uh where are you?’ Okay so he explained. How am I going to get in now in my mind you know you have the world’s media there everyone’s hanging around so how am I going to get in?”.<\/p>\n

“So I put on the disguise, the disguise when he saw me he said ‘No one’s going to recognize you’. You couldn’t see me I had a um Miyake coat on which is down to literally your ankles, I had a hoodie.<\/p>\n

“The coat they wore in the 1960s on their mopeds and then I had a mask that went up and a cap. The shoes I wore. they were trainers they’re black and Junior even said, ‘Wow there’s no way anyone’s going to recognize you looking like that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Eubank Jr was rushed to hospital after his middleweight bout with Conor Benn on Saturday night, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64897,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,21609,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-64896","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-chris-eubank-jr","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114431015333968743","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
