Following on from the no-show of the Eubank father and son duo, at the pre-fight press conference yesterday, Chris Eubank Junior has offered some kind of explanation.
Now although I hold the fighter in the highest esteem and expect him to beat Billy Joe Saunders on the night of the fight, his reasoning for not showing at the press conference is a little off-key if you ask me.
It appears that Chris Eubank Jnr was wary that the press conference might evolve into something unprofessional, or as Chris Jnr puts it,
‘I respect the business of boxing so much, which is why I didn’t come to the press conference, because Billy Joe Saunders is unprofessional about things he might do and say.?
‘That brings a bad light on British boxing and we need to stay away from things like that. My job is to get in the ring, beat him and take the belts.’
But don?t you feel you have a duty to promote the show as well Chris?
And the Reason for the No-Show?
