where he discussed his upbringing under his former world champion father, one of the country’s most famous fighters.The Brighton fighter explained he was often beaten with ‘a belt, a cane, or a slap’ when he got into trouble as a youngster, adding the beatings only came when he ‘stepped out of line’ as a young ‘tearaway.’
‘I don’t know if it would say unhealthy, he was extremely strict,’ Eubank Jr said. ‘I got away with nothing. If I messed up in school, if I didn’t do a chore, if I got into a fight with my brothers, there was physical punishment whether it was a belt, whether it was a cane, a slap. ‘But in my opinion abuse is unwarranted. Abuse is somebody doing something for no reason, abuse is a parent coming home drunk and taking their anger out on their kids. That was never the case with me. I got punished when I stepped out of line. He was teaching me for everything you do there are consequences, good and bad.
