Chris Eubank Sr does not want his son to fight Conor Benn
But Eubank Sr voiced concerns over the bout with his son having to weigh a career-lowest.
So much so that he has campaigned to have the fight scrapped, fearing the worst for his eldest son.
Eubank Sr said in a statement to The Fight Is Right: “Dear Spencer and The Fight Is Right. Boycott the fight.
“You know what three pounds beneath the middleweight limit at 33-years-old can do. This is how brain injuries occur.”
Eubank Jr, 32, is a career middleweight at 160lb but he has even campaigned at the super-middleweight limit of 168lb.
Whereas Benn, 26, comes up 10lb from welterweight as the two settled on a compromise.
There is also a rehydration clause, limiting either to what they can weigh the next day, when they hit the scales for a second time.
Despite Eubank Sr’s safety fears, his son has continued to troll his rival by posting videos eating fast food and sweet treats.

Benn slammed the father-son duo for their antics heading into the fight, 30 years after his dad Nigel’s famous rematch with Eubank Sr.
He said: “He took it to a place he didn’t need to take it.
“Maybe he was upset about his son not including him, it just shows a dysfunctional team on their side.
“How can his son be out eating burgers, then his dad is saying he’s worried about his son because he’s losing three pounds?”
