Chris Eubank Jr. stunned those gathered at the pre-fight press conference ahead of his bout with Conor Benn with an emotional response to his opponent.

Eubank, 35, will go toe-to-toe with Benn, 28, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, in one of the most highly anticipated fights of the year.

On Thursday (April 24), the final press conference ahead the bout took place, and Eubank was his usual calm self while Benn aimed several verbal digs at his opponent.

However, the media gathered at the presser were stunned into silence when the 35-year-old gave an emotional response after Benn vowed to inflict “pain” on his opponent.

“What is pain, though?" Eubank replied.

"I have a 31-year-old brother who is buried in the desert in Dubai, that is pain. I have his son, three years old - he asks why can't I see my daddy? Why can't he take me to school? That is pain.”

Eubank’s younger brother Sebastian, who was also a professional boxer, died in 2021, aged 29, after suffering a heart attack while in the sea in Dubai, UAE, as per the BBC.

"My own father, a man I idolised for my entire life, and he doesn't speak to me,” he added.

“We haven't spoken for years, and he thinks I'm a disgrace. These things are what pain is to me."

Speaking last week, Eubank Sr. gave his thoughts on Saturday's clash, branding the bout a "disgrace".

"I will not be an accomplice to their stupidity, their circus," said Eubank Sr.

"It's against the rules what is happening, 147lbs fighting 160lbs is against the rules," he added.

"When Kell Brook was made to fight GGG [Gennady Golovkin] it's against the rules.

"That boy [Brook] had his eye socket smashed. For promoters, it is just a game, but to the warriors, it is a way of life.

"We have to call them what they are, they are trash, they are trashing us. We are not trash, we are the standard bearers...

"If you are not clever and you are not noble, this [boxing] will kill you, this vocation, what they call sport.

"If you don't play it right already, Conor, you don't have a career to enjoy."
