CHRIS EUBANK JR has trained HIMSELF to fight Conor Benn after his dad snubbed a coaching role and wanted the whole thing axed.

Eubank Jr faces Benn next Saturday, almost 30 years on from their dads’ famous rematch.

Chris Eubank Sr wanted his son out of the Conor Benn fight

The middleweight contender usually spends his time training in America but recently welcomed Roy Jones Jr to his Brighton base.

But Eubank Jr will not be cornered by the boxing legend for this fight and instead wanted the help of his former world champion father.

That was until Chris Sr surprisingly wanted to pull his son OUT amid concerns in making the 157lb contracted catchweight agreement.

So it left his son to take the lead on his own, still under the watchful eye of his mentor and dad’s ex-trainer Ronnie Davies.

Eubank Jr said on Good Morning Britain: “I’ve trained myself for this fight.

“My father didn’t want me to take this fight and wait another year, but I wasn’t going to let this one slip through my fingers.”

Eubank Jr, 32, went large parts of his career without a recognised head coach but linked up with Jones, 53, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It was only a fight for the ages with Benn, 26, that he would have considered parting ways momentarily with the American.

Although Sr was not on board with the bout, as his son has to drop 3lb from his usual 160lb middleweight limit.

Eubank Jr has even campaigned as high as the 168lb super-middleweight division.

Both he and Benn, coming up 10lb from welterweight, are confined to what they can weigh the next day as they hit the scales again.

Financial penalties are in place if the weight restrictions are not met.

Eubank Jr raised eyebrows as he filmed himself eating fast food and sweet treats during training camp, despite his own father’s fears.

And he has maintained he will come into the ring at only 60 per cent of his true potential – which is still enough to give him victory.

Eubank Jr said: “Have I made big changes? I wouldn’t even say that. I’m doing everything on my own accord, I’ve had my burgers and my birthday cakes.

“I’ve done everything my own, I’m a professional but I also know what my body can and can’t do.

“I don’t need nutritionists and gym guys who think they know what they’re doing. I know my own body.

“I have this weight I have to make which I’ve never made before in my entire career and there’s also a rehydration clause after the fight in that I can’t be over a certain weight.

“So I can’t be 100 per cent for this fight but the 60 per cent I’m going to be will be a very dangerous and worrying 60 per cent for Conor.”
