      Sebastian’s son Raheem was only a month old when his father lost his life, so Chris Jr has unofficially adopted him as his own.
      And Jr hung a giant portrait of Sebastian in his Hove gym to inspire him ahead of a catchweight O2 clash with Benn a week today.
      This fight may have caught the imagination following the two iconic bouts their fathers shared — but for Eubank Jr it means so much more.
      In his beachside training bunker, he said: “I was going to have the picture in my house but my gym was the perfect place.

      “This is where our family has been through so much, where we experience pain, where we get fit together.

      “As a reminder of why I am doing this.

      He said: “For the rest of Raheem’s life I’ll look out for him and provide for him — and that takes money.
      “So I have to make enough to get him everything he needs as he grows to be the man his father would have wanted him to be.
      “Raheem is now my son and the reality of that is he is another mouth to feed.

      Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua will NOT happen this year as loss ‘financial suicide’ for AJ, claims Gyspy King’s dad John

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA won’t sign up for a short-notice domestic dust-up with Tyson Fury as he doesn’t want to commit “financial suicide.”That’s according to the Gyspy King’s dad, John, who doesn’t believe Joshua’s team will allow him to take the fight.

      WBC heavyweight king Fury threw AJ a shock championship lifeline earlier this month after his Brit rival’s second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
      Despite Fury publicly claiming the deadline for their December domestic dust-up has passed, negotiations for the biggest fight in British boxing history are still ongoing.
      But Fury’s old man cannot see it happening.
      The 58-year-old told The Daily Mail: “I can understand why [they are stalling on the contracts]. He is their Golden Boy.

      “A defeat to Tyson Fury, financially… it would financial suicide for them wouldn’t it. That’s why they don’t want it.”
      John insists Team Fury would understand if Joshua declined the fight in order to spend time with his family following his long and gruelling training camp for his August rematch with Usyk.
      He said: “You know what. If he came up with a viable explanation saying that, ‘You know what I’m not ready for it.
      “‘I just come off a defeat and want some time out to spend some time out with the family.’

      “We’d understand that if he just says the truth – which is the truth. He said somewhere else he’s just come off a bad defeat.
      “He’ll be a bit depressed over that, you know, and we can understand that. Why, don’t he just say that.”
      Fury and Joshua were set to do battle last year after agreeing a blockbuster two-fight deal in March 2020.
      But former WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder scuppered the undisputed bout when he won his arbitration for a trilogy fight with Fury.
      Joshua is seemingly champing at the bit to get his hands on Fury, although John believes the fallen champion is having serious “doubts” about the fight.

      He said: “I think Joshua’s sort of like getting doubts about fighting the Gypsy King.
      “You know they’ve had that contract now, for well over a month. Nothing’s happened.
      “But what they want, you see, is a to and fro for next two years or twelve months.
      “Twelve months or two years back and forth, like they did with Deontay Wilder. We don’t want that.

      “Tyson’s capped it off and put a deadline on it as he wants it signed up.
      “He wants to get in camp, and then get it under way. Get the fight on and give the fans what they want. We aren’t interested in back and fros.”

      Fury, 34, said in reaction: “Get up there @jakepaul. Man knows his stuff.”
      Paul, 25, revealed his list on his podcast and explained his decisions in a statement.
      He said: “First and foremost, Tyson Fury has just been so dominant in the heavyweight division for so long.
      “He beats every heavyweight by KO/TKO including Usyk and there hasn’t been a heavyweight in the history of the sport who hasn’t fallen off eventually and Tyson Fury has remained on top and I think he will retire on top.

      “However, what Usyk has done from cruiserweight to heavyweight has been impressive and his dominance, versatility, and boxing ability is second to none.”
      Paul’s mutual respect with Fury comes despite his feud with half-brother Tommy, 23.

      The boxing rivals have TWICE signed for a celebrity grudge match but both times Tommy was withdrawn.
      Firstly, he suffered a rib injury last December before running into US visa issues ahead of their rescheduled August date.

      And they both agreed to see if three really is the lucky number and try for a hat-trick of times.
      Paul revealed: “Had a call with Tommy Fury. Yeah, they’re saying we’re going to fight in February.
      “I think he actually can’t come into the United States. So if I fight him in the UK…”
      He added: “I think parts of it are shady, I don’t think we’re getting the full truth on everything.
      “But regardless, it’s a great matchup and I really want to knock him out.”
