Chris Eubank Jr: I Was Paid $**** For The Fight! The Night Before, My Dad Finally Opened Up!

They don't have any other doors to open and walk through. So when they go to the gym and when they go into these fights, if I don't get through this door, I don't eat. I can't pay the rent. Can't feed my family. For me, when I'm looking at that door that I have to go through, whether it's in a gym or in a fight,

I still wanted to walk through that horrible, painful, nasty boxing door. open that door and you walk through the door and you get punched in the stomach and you go through that and then you go walk through the other door and you get cut above your eye and just keep walking, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. And there's all these other doors. Hey, come, come, come, come, come, come.

We'll just, just, just take the easy route. Take the easy route. No, I'm staying here. So it was so much harder for me to do what I was doing because there was so many other choices. And my father thought that As soon as I reached that first door, I'd be like, you know what, nah. He said it. I'm not going to be hard enough. And nine times out of ten, kids are not hard enough in that position.

But I was hell-bent on proving him wrong and proving myself right. I knew I had in me. I felt what it had in me anyway. I didn't know. You never know until you're in those positions. But I just, the strength and the, you know, that feeling inside of me was so, it was so visceral. I was like, there's no way I can't do this. Like, if I just, if I put everything into this, how can I fail?

Maybe he was calling you a bluff. That's another crazy thing that I used to think about. Did he, was he, was he saying this to make me to make me push harder because he's thinking, all right, well, if I, if I say, oh, he'll be great. When he gets to those painful positions, he's already kind of got my, I've already got his, his, his blessing.

Yeah. Do you get along? No, absolutely not. You don't get along? No. We were okay. We were fine for a couple of years, for a number of years. I even spent Christmases with him. But it got to a stage where... I started to see Matrim, Eddie Hearn and himself trying to block me in terms of the business side of the sport. You know, I am with a promotional company called Boxer.

Boxer and Matrim, which is Eddie Hearn and Frank Smith are, you know, deathly enemies. They are arch rivals. So they do anything they can to screw over Boxer. I'm with Boxer. So Frank Smith is trying to sabotage or was trying to sabotage certain things going on in my career, being a part of Matrim. As soon as I learned that, It doesn't matter that you're in a relationship with my sister.
