CHRIS JR: I'D LIKE EU TO BE AT MY FIGHT

CHRIS EUBANK JR hopes to convince his dad to attend his fight with Conor Benn after making the first move to mend their fractured relationship.

Eubank Jr has barely spoken to his famous father, Chris Sr, since asking him to stop meddling in his career several years ago.

The former two-weight world champion has so far been absent from the build-up to his son's clash with bitter rival Benn (circled).

But Eubank Jr approached his dad backstage after watching his cousin Harlem Eubank extend his unbeaten record earlier this month.

He admitted, however, that his old man refuses to budge on his opposition to his son renewing the family feud with the Benns.
