Q: alrite chris mate.if you had to sell yourself as a boxer what would u say?
Eubank: Good question, I would say that I was unique and that I was a self-styled pugilist. Apart from that. What other british fighter won a World Championship before fighting for any british, commonwealth or european title? What other british fighter made 21 World Championship defences? Who was the first british figher to become a two-weight World Champion? Who set the highest ringside attendance for a british boxing match? Who set the highest television audience for a british boxing match? What other long-reigning World Champion fought all of their mandatory contenders? What other World Champion fought overseas 14 times? What other World Champion fought in south africa with Nelson Mandela supporting them? Who else promoted their own fights in the middle east? Who else went undefeated in 43 fights having fought the highest ranked fighters available throughout their entire career? The first time that I ever went out to hurt my opponet was the first time that I lost. What other boxer displayed the charismatic controversy that I did? What other boxer displayed the enigmatic eccentricity that I did? What other boxer could torment fight fans the way I did? What other boxer has made as many celebrity appearances as me? Who else has transformed themselves from homeless, penniless and unable to read or write into graduated, educated, World Champion and multi-millionaire? There can be only one, and I've never been knocked out in my life. I was quite Simply The Best.
