Chris Eubank Jr has dismissed comments from Chris Eubank Snr labelling him a \u2018charlatan\u2019 and believes his father is being taken advantage of \u2018scumbags\u2019 in the media.<\/p>\n

British boxing legend Eubank Snr played a larger-than-life role in his son\u2019s boxing career, at his side from his professional debut in 2011 and a constant presence in training, at ringside and at press conferences.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the two has become somewhat strained in recent years with Eubank Snr not appearing in his son\u2019s corner since 2019. The former middleweight and super-middleweight champion expressed grave concerns over his son\u2019s doomed showdown with Conor Benn last year and wanted no part of the historic grudge match.<\/p>\n

In June, Eubank Snr appeared on talkSPORT and accused his son of surrounding himself with \u2018yes men\u2019 and \u2018PE teachers\u2019 in the wake of his knockout defeat to Liam Smith six months earlier.<\/p>\n

Eubank Snr was played an audio clip of talkSPORT\u2019s Simon Jordan labelling Eubank Jr a \u2018charlatan\u2019 having lost in each of his three fights where he has taken on world level opposition in Billy Joe Saunders, George Groves and Smith.<\/p>\n

Asked if he agreed with that statement, Eubank Snr paused before stating: \u2018In the world of honesty, how can I disagree with you? I guess my silence says it all. Truth is truth.\u2019<\/p>\n

Appearing on The Overlap with Gary Neville, Eubank Jr was quizzed on his father\u2019s comments. The 33-year-old said: \u2018Being called a charlatan is very mild. And from what I saw, he didn\u2019t call me that, whoever said it, he let them say it. My father aways told me no publicity is bad publicity. He knows what he is doing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asked if his father is still playing PR games in the media, he added: \u2018You\u2019re talking about it now, aren\u2019t you? If he had said, my son is great, no one would be saying anything. But when someone calls me a charlatan and he stays silent, that is news.\u2019<\/p>\n

In July 2021, Sebastian Eubank, Jnr\u2019s brother and Snr\u2019s son, tragically lost his life just days before his 30th<\/sup> birthday, suffering a heart attack as a result of a preexisting and undiagnosed condition.<\/p>\n

Eubank Snr has openly discussed the immense grief he continues to struggle with Eubank Jr believes his father is still dealing with the loss, hitting out at those chasing \u2018headlines\u2019 while he is in pain. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I haven\u2019t spoken to him about it,\u2019 Eubank Jr continued. \u2018Am I angry about it? I understand emotions. I understand who my father is as a man, he has been through a lot the last two years. The things that have happened with the family, it\u2019s affected him. So I have to take these things into consideration when he is speaking to the media.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is tough dealing with a death in the family, everyone deals with it different, some deal with it badly, some deal with it as good as they can. He needs to just deal with what he\u2019s dealing with and people taking advantage of his mental state right now I think is poor.<\/p>\n

\u2018These guys don\u2019t care about him, they want the headlines, they want the lines. I can\u2019t stop him talking to people. But anyone who has lost a son and is so clearly devastated by that, I think it is irresponsible to be putting them on a platform. But people don\u2019t have morals these days. People are scumbags, looking for a leg up by any means necessary whoever they hurt or whoever is affected.\u2019<\/p>\n
