Chris Eubank Jr has become a father to twin boys, describing the moment as 'the greatest thing I've done in my life'. The 36-year-old boxer shared a photo of himself holding his newborns on social media, captioning it: 'I've done a lot of great things in my life… This is the greatest.'
The announcement comes weeks after Eubank Jr suffered a points loss to bitter rival Conor Benn in November. In the lead-up to that fight, he revealed he was expecting twins, having first shared the news in the BBC documentary The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son.
Eubank Jr has been notably private about his relationship, explaining: 'My private life should be private… There's no benefit to exposing private relationships to the world.' He recalled his parents' public divorce as a reason for his discretion.
Despite the demands of fatherhood, the boxer insisted it would not end his career: 'I don’t think having children has any effect on my career. If anything, they will make me fight harder.' He reflected on understanding his own father's concerns about boxing, stating he would not push his sons into the sport but would not forbid them either.
