Will Chris Eubank Sr be at hugely-anticipated Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn rematch?

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will run back their Fight of the Year contender on September 20, but the big question is will Chris Eubank Sr be back in his son's corner for the hugely-anticipated rematch?

The boxing icon's emotional return alongside his son earlier this year was a moment that will live long in British boxing folklore.

Nobody had expected the two to reunite just hours ahead of the blockbuster dust-up, especially given the fact that Senior had lambasted his son's decision to undertake an 'idiotic' weight cut just 48 hours before the first showdown.

Eubank Sr had vowed to have 'nothing to do with the bout', citing his disgust at Junior for even contemplating risking his life by adhering to what he described as 'illegal' weight cut stipulations.

However, despite that, and his subsequent disgust at Junior for launching an egg in the face of Benn at their launch press conference , the two managed to bury the hatchet in dramatic fashion right on the eve of the fight.

After locking themselves away in a room for over an hour and settling their differences, Eubank Jr offered Senior the chance to walk him down to the ring ahead of the biggest dust-up of his life.

It was an olive branch Senior was more than happy to take...

"At 10 past eight on the Friday night I sent him a message," the two-weight world champion recently explained on his Call Chris Eubank YouTube channel.

"The message said: 'Call me when you're in private, please'.

Maybe 10 past 10, I got a call back. Jr called and he said 'I didn't want to call, dad, because I can't hear anything negative'. We agreed to meet up at the hotel, and in my mind you have the world's media there so I put on a disguise.

"When he saw me he said 'no one is going to recognise you' - you couldn't see me.

"I had an Issey Miyake coat on which is down to your ankles, I had a hoodie which is a green mod coat - the coat they wore in the 1960s on their mopeds... and then I had a mask that went up and a cap.

"Junior had booked me a room so we went up to the room and we sat and we spoke, and then these were my words to him, 'What do you want me to do, son? This is your show.'

"He said lots of things have to change now because we had this set up. We had an orchestra, a rapper, and all were to substitute for me not being there, so when I came in, everything else went.

"The only thing that actually stayed was the orchestra, and it was incredible - it was a special moment, and it was a moment I had always wanted - to be there for my son."

A tearful post-fight embrace - just moments after Eubank Jr had been declared the winner - capped a memorable, and potentially life-changing, evening for the Eubanks.

Senior went on to give an emotional interview in the ring, lavishing praise upon his son for his 'legendary behaviour' after standing toe-to-toe with his arch-nemesis, and reigning supreme.

Whilst the 58-year-old couldn't hide his delight at his son's triumph, he later revealed that something even more significant than victory took place in the moments before the ring walk.

"You have to understand the magnitude of this, because Junior is not an emotional human being, he's not emotional at all," he went on to say.

But he sent me a message, and the message said, 'Glad you are here'. That's like the moon coming to within a mile of the earth. It does not happen. He just doesn't do that.

"It meant an enormous amount to me!"

The expectation is that the two, who are believed to have further enhanced their reconciliation since the fight, will once again stand side-by-side on September 20.

"Chris (Eubank Sr) has a relationship with his son that only they will both understand," British boxing great Johnny Nelson, and current Sky Sports boxing pundit, said after the rematch was officially confirmed.

"As long as they are both now talking and kind of on the same page, I really don't care what their relationship is like as long as that relationship between father and son is there.

"The amount of grown men that were brought to tears inside the arena when they saw Senior stepping out of the car alongside Junior before the first fight - because it reminded them of their own relationships with their own sons and fathers.

"It reminded people of arguments that they may have had, and made them think is it worth it - it brought a realisation to such a massive occasions, it was incredible.

"I actually spoke to Senior afterwards and said 'do you know how many people you touched' in regards to that single move, his decision to have a word with his ego and turn up for his son, and he actually didn't!

"As long as they are good, and on the same page, I don't care what their relationship is - I am certain he will be there for his son in September, just as he was in April."
