IN this week’s edition of Boxing News magazine, Chris Eubank speaks in an exclusive column. Read an extract here:

I REALISED on Saturday night, as I celebrated with my son, that I had never before been truly happy at any point in my life.

Already, having that WBO title meant nothing, so from that point, up until I lost in 1995, true enjoyment and appreciation was impossible because of work – even though everyone else was enjoying it.

So when Junior won the title it was the first time I was truly happy. It wasn’t about me, it was about what my son had achieved, and I have never been happier, never been so elated, so delighted.
