    I have watched and admired Eubank for over 30 years. I know he has his critics but he got me into boxing and had some outstanding fights and victories that any British fight fan should respect and admire. This interview is really worrying to watch, he doesn't look well. I hope he has the right support network around him.

    Wow. He's mentally unwell there. He's a legend and a uniquely brilliant character but he needs the boxing community to support him and not take advantage of him for YouTube hits. All the best champ.

    The guy was apparently in a mental health institute only a few weeks ago. He’s been through such tragedy and heartbreak. I hope he finds peace and has his family around him

    Yes, I had read that this was not true. But watching that interview he has an unhealthy mix of anger and delusions of grandeur. Make no mistake, I hold him in the highest regard - he talks about the warriors code which some people deride, but there is no doubt he fought that way. I worry that he is losing grip and needs jnr's arm around him.

    All the punches to the head take their toll. 52 fights. All those losses in the late stages of his career didn't help either. The loss of his son has had a huge impact on his health too.

    Hmmmm even minus the blows to the head, what he has been through recently is enough to do a man in.

    I can't tell if he's acting or not, honestly, on one hand I'm concerned and a bit disturbed, on the other I think he could just be putting on a performance because he's quite a strange guy at times.

    Mental health issues run in the Eubank family but I'm not sure that's what's at play here. Looks like Chris is drinking heavily, the interviewer (and his pixie waistcoat) also appears to be intoxicated. As he lost his son recently, combined with what happened to Gerald and Michael it's no wonder he lost his mind. Nobody is listening to him in the name of making money and they are intentionally making him feel like an old fool. I would probably loose it too.

    I think he's either drunk or on some strong medication. He's usually priding himself in appearing measured and thoughtful. He's the opposite of that here. It might be the punches, Lord knows he took a lot of them.

    It's nothing to do with punches, he's clearly intoxicated. He lost his son last year and now his first born and namesake is being pimped out dangerously by unscrupulous promoters. Pretty obvious why he is behaving like he is.
