Harlem to take over the family business

HARLEM EUBANK has his uncle in his corner and his dad in his heart as he looks to become the latest in the family to reach the top.

The Brighton boxer will fight for the first time since his debut in his home city when he takes on German Timo Schwarzkopf tonight.

Eubank is the nephew of former two-weight world champion Chris Sr and is now having his career guided by his uncle.

But the light-welterweight is hoping to do his dad, Simon, proud after he died in September following a five-year fight with dementia.

It’s been a tough time for the Eubank family after Chris’ son Sebastian died in 2021 when he suffered a heart attack while swimming in Dubai.

“Dad wasn’t able to express himself,” said Harlem.
