And I never let that happen. And I'm very, I'm proud of that. I'm proud that I didn't fall into the traps that were set. Every time they set a trap, I saw the trap, go around it, go forward. Oh, there's another trap. Round it, forward. Another trap, round it, forward. That is a part of being a warrior. It's not just getting in the ring and fighting. You have to be smart. You have to be cunning.

You have to know your enemy. You have to understand the things that people are trying to do to take you out of your comfort zone, out of your preparation. You have to avoid and you have to make sure that nothing gets into your head. Nothing affects what you're going to do on the night.

You know, and the crazy thing was not only was I dealing with all these bullets flying at me from my enemies in Conor Benn, in Matrim, in Eddie Hearn, in Nigel Benn. These are all enemies leading up to the fight. I had bullets coming from my family, my father. A couple of days before the biggest fight of my life, he's, you know, he's going into the media and saying I'm a disgrace.

I'm already in, you know, under a lot of stress, under a lot of pressure, and then I've got to hear this? It's like, Jesus, I mean, what, you know, how much worse is it going to get? It was tough. It was really tough. But on the subject of my father, regardless of what he said about me and about the fight, he was there when it mattered the most. And that means everything.

I didn't know he was going to come. He called me. He texted me the day before the fight, the night before the fight. He said, call me when you see this. So I saw the text and I thought, you know what? You know, we are, we're less than a day away from, well, this is the night before the biggest fight of my life. The last thing I can be doing is being on the phone, listening to negativity and

Because that's all he had come with for the last six, eight weeks. The fight's not going to happen. This fight shouldn't be happening. Weights are not right. He egged him. He's a disgrace. It's a circus. It's a sham. I will never be in my son's corner. This is all I'm hearing from him for two months. Don't do this fight, Chris, son. This is all I'm hearing.

I, so I'm sitting there, I'm reading this message and he hasn't, you know, I haven't spoken to him and I'm thinking, I can't, I can't deal with this right now. Call him, call him for what? So he can say not to take the fight. You know, I got to rest. I got to, I got to focus. A couple of hours go by, maybe nine, 10 o'clock it gets to that. And I'm like, you know what?

I've been through so much shit in the last two months. What more could possibly, what more could possibly be thrown at me? At the end of the day, my old man, he texts me. I'm going to hear him out. So I call him. I was about to go to sleep and I thought, you know what? I'll call him. As soon as he picked the phone up, there was a tone in his voice that I hadn't heard for years.

It was a tone of happiness, lightness, joy.

How am I feeling? When have you worried about how I've been feeling? I'm good, Dad. Everything's cool. Just getting ready to go to sleep. Got a big day tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I know, son. I know you've got a big day tomorrow and, um, I want to be there for you. I'm sorry. I heard that. And I'm like, is this, is this a dream? Is this, uh, this is, this is Chris Eubank senior.
