Chris Eubank Jr. is a British boxer and son of former champion Chris Eubank who has held interim/regional titles at middleweight and super-middleweight.

Christopher Livingstone Eubank Jr. was born in Hove, England, the son of former two-weight world champion Chris Eubank Sr., whose flamboyant persona and rivalry with Nigel Benn defined one of the most celebrated eras of British boxing in the early 1990s. Growing up in the shadow of his father's fame, Eubank Jr. moved to the United States as a teenager to train independently before returning to build his own professional career in Britain. Eubank Jr. turned professional in 2011 and developed into one of the most powerful and physically imposing middleweight and super middleweight fighters of his generation, winning regional and interim titles as he pursued a path toward the sport's biggest fights, often accompanied to the ring by his father in an echo of the elder Eubank's own theatrical ring entrances. Eubank Jr. has faced considerable heartbreak in his career, including the tragic 2020 death of his younger brother, Sebastian Eubank, and a fight against Nick Blackwell in 2016 that left his opponent in an induced coma, an incident that weighed heavily on him afterward. He has continued competing at world level in the super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Eubank Jr. has pursued a high-profile domestic rivalry with Conor Benn, son of his father's old rival Nigel Benn, in a modern echo of the previous generation's celebrated feud, and remains one of the most recognisable and box-office-friendly fighters in British boxing.
