Chris Eubank seems to be a rather unusual person with an unorthodox approach to things. I remember watching that documentary years ago by Louis Theroux and thinking it was a fantastic performance, but you wondered where the real Eubank was and why he was covering himself in so many odd layers and layers that often didn't seem to make much sense. It was very funny when he decided he needed to teach Theroux a lesson in the gym. In every aspect wanting to be an 'example for the kids' or some such thing, but then wanting to prove himself in the ring against a dandy documentary maker. 'Hit me harder', I think he kept saying. Wonderful stuff. I love it when a man gives another man a free shot at his head and the other man is crapping himself thinking 'He's mad'. It is almost Shakespearian in its absurdist glory.
I've never seen Eubank Jnr fight, but wish him well and for him to keep it real. Leave the monocles to the old man who is a pro with those kinds of props. Be yourself and be the best you can be. Keep the ego bubble at bay for it will always pop.
