    Seems like the same old Chris when the cameras are on. I know a man in this buisness who told me when it was just him and Chris it was a normal conversation. As soon as he had a small audience or cameras it was back to this version on Chris.

    Sad to see those weird tweets that have been deleted now. He's clearly struggling with something and it's not a shock with losing his son plus his own history. I hope those around him are able to stop him being exploited

    Concerning.

    One of the greats being filmed and laughed at by a roomful of people not fit to lick his boots back in his day.

    This is his escapism. He's an eccentric, thrives off the attention. But he does need his family around him, he's been through alot and obviously this all seems to be a bit too much even by his standards.

    He’s always been eccentric but his behaviour in that video does seem to be rather out there.

    He wasn’t sectioned recently for no reason. Now just being exploited…

    I can't believe the Nigel Benn Eubank events are still going on.
    Someone should be looking out for Chris and stopping this madness

    One wonders if Benn has a responsibility to say enough is enough and pull the plug for now.

    Not himself at all. He’s usually the consummate gentleman, in total control.

    He’s close to completely cracking, and doesn’t believe he’s ill/can’t see it (meaning he really is ill).

    It’s ok to diagnose peoples mental health from a video but not ok to diagnose everyone sat at those tables with physical health problems? Obesity, alcoholism, high blood pressure sugar addiction wall to wall. But let’s talk about the guy with his own dance moves?

    Makes me sad. Boxing's a tough sport.

    Someone like Chris used to always say it's a mug's game and you have to make the loot and leave, but he had to stay on a little too long and ship a little too much punishment.

    When you've got a family history of mental health problems, those 1000s and 1000s of punches you took can't help things.

    He sparred HARD. He literally would go toe to toe for 10 rounds all out and only very very few could hang with him (Errol Christie with bigger gloves and head guard being one).

    It’s the only way he knew from his days in the Bronx; where a spar was a fight, for bragging rights, there in the 80s.
