“Rest in Peace”: Chris Eubank Jr. Joins Fans in Mourning Saddening Demise of Legendary British Boxing Family Member

Who doesn’t know Chris Eubank Jr.? Eubank is the biggest name in British boxing. The family of elite boxers has produced not one, not three, but five fighters. The first generation of boxers included Peter Eubank, Simon Eubank, and Chris Eubank Sr. Later, the sons of Simon and Eubank Sr. both went on to start their own successful boxing careers. Recently, the Eubanks lost an important member of their family today.
