Early Life

Christopher Livingstone Eubank was born on August 8, 1966, in Dulwich, South London, England to Rachel Scollins. From the age of two to six years old, he was raised in Jamaica. Upon returning to England, he lived in Stoke, Dalston, Hackney and then Peckham where he lived in impoverished surroundings. He moved to New York and made a fresh start when he was 16 years old. While living in New York he overcame his addictions to drugs, alcohol and shoplifting and began regularly attending church and school. In his spare time, he trained at the Jerome Boxing Club on Westchester Avenue.

Boxing Career

Eubank made his professional debut at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino on his 19th birthday and went on to build a very successful boxing career. He boxed from 1985 to 1998, reigning as world champion for over five years while going undefeated in his first ten years as a pro and remaining undefeated at middleweight. His world title bouts against Nigel Benn and Michael Watson helped British boxing to its peak popularity in the 90s. During his final two years, Eubank challenged up-and-coming contender Joe Calzaghe in a bid to reclaim the WBO super-middleweight title. The victorious Calzaghe later stated it was the toughest fight of his whole career. Chris' final two fights were brutal bouts against WBO junior-heavyweight champion Carl Thompson. In the rematch, Eubank was stopped for the first and only time in his career.

When he retired, his boxing career consisted of 45 wins, 23 KO's, 5 losses, and 2 draws. Chris Eubanks is currently working in Angola, training and managing the potential Olympic Boxing Team as well as his son and protégé, Chris Eubank Jr.
