Flamboyant and eccentric British middleweight champion of the early 1990s whose unorthodox upright style, theatrical personality and memorable rivalry with Nigel Benn made him a boxing icon.

Chris Eubank Sr. is one of British boxing's most flamboyant and successful champions, a former WBO middleweight and super middleweight champion known as much for his eccentric personality as his boxing ability. He defeated Nigel Benn in two memorable fights and his two classic wars with Michael Watson are among British boxing's most dramatic. His distinctive style, monocle, and jodhpur trousers made him one of the most recognisable figures in British sport.
