Chris Eubank Snr DEFENDS his position to Simon Jordan on his fight with Michael Watson 🥊 | Up Front
Love him or hate him, he's as old school as they come, a gentleman and an animal.
and a sheriff
He also has testicular fortitude
@@Giblet16😂😂😂
Eubank was a hard man whom would have made it in any era imo
@@kennywilkinson913Dr Whom...why is thou talking like one exist in the 1930's. Old child, this is only because thee is watching a eubank sr video...other than this we do not speak this way
A old school fighter and a spiritual man, it's good to accept who and you are to be comfortable in your own skin and admit your own faults. Sending you best wishes and spiritual prayers 🙏 God bless Chris spiritual blessings from Newcastle.
Simon’s analogy about killing someone by drink driving was a bit too close to home considering Eubank killed a bloke in ‘92 driving without due care and attention in his car 🙄
need to look into it
Did he ???
It was an accident he braked and skidded on some gravel
@@andyharrod1436Yes indeed, road works, the guy was a labourer.
Really @andyharrod1436 really????? He was fined he payed rhe court judge ..
Eubank is a legend in the sport of boxing. Lets pay homage to him. A gentleman and a scholar.
A laughable comment.
Not a Eubank fan, but 100% respect what he said
A true legend, was never the same after the watson fight. Had Thompson beat and let him off the hook as understandably he'd lost his killer instinct
Much respect to Chris Eubank Snr. A true legend 👍
brilliant interview ,very powerful
,Eubanks spoke powerfully , very thought provoking ,candid and moving
best interview to date by far
Chris is a decent human being.
Always been a Benn fan, but Chris has massively grown on me. Misunderstood I think. A superb human being. Best of luck Mr Eubank
Yeah I agree with that pal
Loved Eubank since the 1st Benn fight. Class act
He’s always been a showman and always played up to the camera but Eubank was the toughest fighter iv ever seen in a boxing ring! He took his beatings long after the Micheal Watson fight because it’s like he felt guilty for what happened… just watch the Carl Thompson fights when he stepped up to cruiserweight when he was a natural middleweight. Just mad! Just hope he can be well and live a good life. Same with Micheal bless him, Micheal has always said he forgives him
Came from the gutter and made a success out of his and his family's lives through one of the toughest jobs in the world
Toughest jobs in the world? JFC.
Eubank is one of the greatest boxers to ever come out of Britain. Doesn't get enough credit.
Great man
Some amazing characters in boxing, Eubank is one of them
This was the Chris eubank sr. Show featuring Simon Jordan 😎😎😎
Like him or not. This is humility and humanity 👍👍👍👍
Can’t help but smile while watching this 😊
Great fighter. Still not sure if I like him but, I’m glad he is well again 💪🏽
Still wearing his bloody fake sheriff's badge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s absolutely bonkers and seems completely insane but he is actually and officially a recognized sheriff in Louisiana. The mind boggles 🤯
@@alexreid4131 Yah but it means nothing over here. It's funny when he points to it like he is an authority figure and has powers. He's even pointed to it while in his car to try and get people to move out of the way lol. Lovely guy and great boxers but he's got a few screws loose.
You hear stories of people being killed with one punch on say a night out in a pub and people can take a hiding of many guys and get better and move on, it's unpredictable and all the variables in any situation are a mystery, it was unfortunate and not deliberate, it's the sport.
I never really liked this bloke, but now total respect!!
Love Chris Eubank sr great man
Chris Eubank one word integrity
Eubank was one of the most skilled hardest lion hearted boxers ever. 2 people came out of the ring that day who were never the same again. Could listen to Chris all day but it only takes 1 minute of Simon Jordan and I'm ready to go level 10 Michael Douglas what a 🔔end.
A true gentleman who would absolutely ruin you if you got on the wrong side of him
amazing guy
I didn't really understand why he'd talk about auctioning a belt and only raising £3k, which is nothing in the scheme of things. He should have given Michael a wheelbarrow load of money.
You missed the point , he stopped talking because he doesn’t want to brag about what he’s done for him , he shouldn’t be disclosing what he’s done in charity
Why sell a belt for just 3k pointless.
@@Lonewolf__666 Because that is all it raised.
3k plus over 50k from other acts probably much more
@@drisi4936 I didn’t miss the point, I took his reluctance to say anything as an indication that he didn’t give anything himself, hence why he sold the belt.
EubNk speaks in riddles
A true eccentric. And somewhat of an enigma. And I have to admit I never really warmed to him back in the day, but he's a decent man, who was a great warrior and he speaks the truth. What more could you want?
Why post this again we’ve already seen it
I wouldn't even have asked the question. It was a boxing match and we need to remember it's a dangerous sport. Chris was a great champion. The best at his game.
Always had huge respect for Chris
I love how Chris dresses in his smart attire. Always looks dapper.👍💪
I had a sheriff's badge like that when I was 8. Think it came in a box of frosties.
Frosties?
@@peternagy-im4be
Frosties, a breakfast cereal made from sugarcoated cornflakes
A love Chris ❤
Best dressed man in the world , an absolute national treasure.
I wonder how much he's spent on clothes in his lifetime.....
@@Rondawwg ha yeah a few bob , definitely money well spent
@@rob1969in most of it tailor made on Savile Row
Ive learnt a new word
Even if it's a fighting sport if someone ends up in a coma or dies, as a normal person you will feel bad
Eubank is a wonderful human being.Hes a boxer a fighter he did what he was trained to do nobody expecting anyone to be hurt like that ,that is not any boxers fault.
Bless him he's confused.
The interviewer likes the sound of his own voice he’s interrupting too much, he doesn’t realise he has two ears and one mouth for a reason. Had it not been for Mr Eubanks assertiveness he wouldn’t have got a word in.
I love Chris
I don't think Mr. Eubank was to blame for the Michael Watson situation.
It's like being on the tour de France and the cyclist infront falling off his bike and you run him over and kill him. Not your fault is just an unfortunate sporting situation.
I like Eubank, but I don't think he fully understands the situation.
Both Chris and Michael were in the same game.
Can you imagine being in a sport and giving someone life changing punishment and having to live with that? You can see that this will haunt Chris for the rest of his life which is his now lifetime “ punishment “ .
Howdy Sheriff,what’s happening on the prairie?
This man has honor, what else can a boxer have?
I agree that people should be held accountable and responsible. However, in combat sports that you take part in, you are equally responsible to self defence as you are to the rules of the game not to intentionally kill or permanently harm your opponent. Both Mr Eubank and Mr Watson, threw those punches without knowing the full consequences of each punch as the fight progressed other than to win without intention to kill or permanently harm. Looking for a knockout means to stun the opponent enough to stop the fight.
It is understandable what Mr Eubank is feeling, very deep and genuine remorse and regret. However, he could never have known, predicted or intended to the punch he threw to do so much damage. And for me, he is forgiven and should learn to forgive himself. All fighters know the risks, it is the choice you make when you become a professional at anything.
10 min long?
Respect chris queen elizabeth and his mom taught hom to be a man that's a great statement
2 men who I would have at my 13 for dinner table . Exceptional
Steve Collins beat them all,some twice, after they stopped running from him...
Eubank was at the end of the road by the time he fought Collins, too many tough fights and mental traumas in the tank. You can only know the truth of the matter when fighters meet prime vs prime.
@@Veyron1967prime vs prime never seems to happen especially HW boxing today
I don't recall Michael Watson losing to Collins nor Joe Calzaghe!
So you can't say that he 'beat them all' when he didn't even fight them all.....and let's be real here while a Steve Collins vs Joe Calzaghe would have been a phenomenal fight, we all know who would have won!
@@BlueSummers101are you on this planet micheal watson was put in a coma by eubank and has been brain damaged ever since you want him to get back in the ring??
had Collins beat and let him off the hook, - He was mentally finished
CHRIS EUBANK : THE WARRIORS CODE
"The warrior is strong, yet his sleep is fragile.
His wisdom, an amalgamation of precedent, yet his decisions cannot be based on the frailties of man.
He is rather fueled by divine inspiration ascending from the heart.
He knows not anger and only fears the unknown.
The warrior does not judge, for his true assignment is to deliver evidence of superior behaviour to the creator of all men.
The warrior does not dream of frontiers. He only sees horizons.
The warrior is a creature of irony, for his genuine task is to ensure peace.
The true warrior knows, accepts, and embraces above all, integrity, which is his course of life; reason and the application of reason, which is his only weapon, and forgiveness, the one true cleansing virtue.
And when one can fully absorb these most devine of all virtues can one at last see how impossible and futile it is to make war."
Realistically eubank shouldn’t have to defend himself against Jordan or anybody
Chris portrays himself as a wise man, but Simon was running intellectual rings around him here.
I honestly don't think 'fault' is the right word. I can see how how upsetting it must have been, to deliver that devastating, life-changing blow. But that result was never intentional. I think Chris is an honerable, thinking man, and probably, Michaels forgiveness, is so important to him,
Very hard to listen to Eubanks when his answers leave more questions
Warrior Chris eubanks
What occured is a terrible paradigm with Micheal Watson but Chris eubank is definately not responsible ' he was A professional world class boxer ' his attitude of remorse with compassion is admirable though '
Eubank never recovered and you can tell it still hurts him
It could easily have been you on the other end Chris. You both knew what you were signing up for. Yes you threw the punch, but he was throwing them back. It was 50 /50
Strange man but a good man, respect.
The interview is a fool Eubanks is standing up and taking responsibility🙏
It would be nice if Jordan actually listened to what Chris was saying. 😞
Could've equally been Watson sat in that chair defending his position to Jordan.. both men went into that ring knowing and accepting the risks, case closed.
Get this man to a hospital and don't let him out
Best fitted ever.but to reigious
Give him something back ? Why? Fighters go into the ring to beat their opponent, they bad mouth each other beforehand. They win or lose? No one owes them anything surely? Their wounds and injuries are self inflicted? Don’t beg me to give them money, either of them. Winner or loser. That sort of thing is sorted before the fight? Get on with it!!!
Fighter
Absolute love snr, hes a national treasure and my favourite ninja turtle.
He also beat you Chris. I remember watching it.
Nick Blackwell looked like the elephant man
Blackwell could have made a full recovery after the Eubank fight. But he made the decision to take part in a sparring session with a cruiserweight before he had fully recovered. Sadly, the result of that personal decision left Blackwell with permanent life changing injuries. He's a very lucky lad. All the best to him.
HES A JOURNALIST
Question
Would Chris be speaking the same about Nigel if Nigel took the Injury.. No normal person wants to inflict Brain damage on anyone, saying that can you remember the Evil talk McClellen said about Benn & his dad.before there fight. Some real nasty shit that come back to haunt him.
Why's he wearing a sheriff's badge?
Some American county swore him in as a sheriff. It's a real badge with zero meaning outside the relevant county. But he is eccentric and wears it all the time.
Sheriff of Brighton?
@@graememckay9972or swore at him...
I wonder what he’s really done for Watson ? Probably not as much as he makes out.
He's done much more but why go on about it? Him and Michael know. Others don't
@@peternagy-im4be go on what then know all .
Love Eubank!! The responsibility was the Referee or the referees,to have used there judgement that night to not have carried on !! It's ashame that these fighters can't get boxing out of them, it's like when a Roman soldier that spelt blood and they couldn't go back into normal society and had to become hermits! Wish is Son never followed in his dad's footsteps tho tooo 😢
CE is 57 years old and doesn't know what flagellation means...
Wtf...
Michael Watson won the first fight buy a mile . I don't blame eubanks for what happened I blame the judges who gave eubanks the fight because he a bigger crowd puller and money maker than Michael. They should be ashamed of them selfs
This man should go into politics.
Why people who go into politics are often braindead and can not run a bath. The UK is a fine example...
Simon Jordan trying to give Eubank a hard time. Damn Eubank has had it hard enough, Simon can't faze Eubank. Simon is a prick
Ask chris about the man he killed ? The one he ran over and somehow got off with it !
Never happened old darling
Watson won the first fight ,, he was robbed pure and simple,, and there would have been no rematch !! bomber Graham should have been a world champion,, but one punch change all that 🤔 and Eubanks is saying it as it is ,,, he was beaten and still won !!
I love Eubank but he's slowly but surely turning into David Brent in front of the camera. Embarrassing to watch at times.
He even looks like David Brent
@4:12 That was a clear dig at Chris by using the drink driving as an example of being responsible for your own actions. 😂
For those who didnt catch that.. Chris was actually involved in a fatal car accident in the early 90s and rumour was Chris was behind the wheel but his brother Simon took the blame so chris wouldn't lose his boxing career and world title.
Eubank knows its not his fault Watson got brain damaged don't be fooled.
Eubank is infuriating. And actually not as smart as he makes out.
Firstly he doesn’t listen. He has strange ways of looking at the world. He talks about forgiveness but can’t forgive himself. He is a boxer who through a punch that had catastrophic outcomes, that’s it. And he critics his son in public which in my world is a no, no! You never tell strangers how you feel about your own. That’s something you do in the privacy of your own home and with them. so double standards for this guy.
Have the interview with Simon nit us. Great fighter.... superb.... out if the ring, stop being a primadonna prick
I have huge respect for Chris but not sure i understand him alot of the time and think his had one to many hits to the head its sad to see
10 minutes of Simon sponsored drivel
WTF was he on about
Conversation for grown ups, you might want to pick another episode to watch.
Eubank was worth $10m in his heyday and he gave Watson 3k. Great work Chris.
….he gave more but didn’t want to say in the interview
Much more than that. What have YOU done? I think i know the answer.
@@peternagy-im4be it wasn’t me who changed the course of Michael Watson’s life. What a childish question.
@@f3penang287 you sound like an immature adolescent
@@peternagy-im4be takes one to know one.
Bonkers. It was a sporting fight and essentially an accident. However, Chris…chill out and don’t try and be something you’re not.
you obvoiusly see him in a particular light
and why is that ?
so what is he trying to be mate ?
Come on, who really wants to listen to Chris Eubank - he's not right in the head!
😂😂. He’s as phoney as that plastic Sheriffs badge. Totally away with the mixer. £3k donation was like a kick in the dick
@frankmoore1299 please don't be silly
Simon looks exhausted here
You can clearly see Chris Eubank is a natural born leader
