Height, Weight & Measurements
Standing at an impressive height of 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm), Chris Eubank maintained a fighting weight around 160-168 pounds (72.5-76 kg), depending on the weight class. Even post-retirement, his dedication to fitness remains evident, and he continues to inspire many with his commitment to health and wellness.
A rematch with Watson for the vacant WBO super-middleweight title took place in September 1991, in which Watson suffered a near-fatal injury. Eubank was behind on all scorecards after 10 rounds, and was knocked down 18 seconds from the end of the round.
He rose from the canvas (being given only a standing four-count instead of eight) to unleash a devastating uppercut to Watson's jaw right at the end of the round, knocking Watson's head and neck backwards into the ring ropes. The bell sounded to end the round as soon as Watson was up from the count.
It was still obvious to all observers – and to Eubank himself – that he needed a knockout to win: and early in the 12th, with Watson still visibly shaken, the fight was stopped with Watson under a flurry of punches from Eubank. Soon after the fight Watson collapsed in his corner.
His condition may have been worsened by delay in receiving medical attention: there was no ambulance or paramedic at the event and after eight minutes on the ring floor, Watson was attended by doctors wearing dinner jackets, arriving late. Following the fight, Eubank contemplated quitting the sport.
Commentator Reg Gutteridge said, in the moment, he had, "never seen a more dramatic end to a world title fight". Eubank later reflected on the aftermath: "I lost my finishing instinct in the ring – I couldn't finish fights any more. However, I needed to work and so I carried on and I won most of my fights on decisions.
And I blamed myself, after all, it was me who threw the punch."
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Despite his public persona, Chris Eubank has kept much of his personal life under wraps. He has four children from his previous marriage to Karron Eubank, maintaining a close relationship with them while navigating the challenges of co-parenting. As of 2025, Eubank is rumored to be dating a mysterious girlfriend, but he has chosen to keep the details of his romantic life private, reflecting his desire for personal privacy despite his high-profile career.
He attended Northwold Primary School in Upper Clapton, Bellenden Junior School, and then Thomas Calton Secondary School in Peckham, from where he was suspended 18 times in one year and then expelled, despite claiming he was gallantly trying to protect other children from bullies.
Some time was spent at Orchard Lodge Regional Resource Centre, Anerley, in 1981. When he was 16, his father sent him to New York in the U.S. to live with his mother in the tough South Bronx district.

His large following reflects his enduring popularity, and he uses these platforms to advocate for causes close to his heart, from boxing to philanthropy.
Eubank is credited for his bravery in the ring, in which he was able to take considerable amounts of punishment from power punchers en route to his victories and defeats, and for this he is said to have a "granite" chin.
He is also known for his heel-like elitist persona: Speaking and dressing like an upper-class elite, vaulting over the ring ropes as an entrance, but also the art of mental warfare, notably against Nigel Benn for their first bout. His son, Chris Eubank Jr., is also a professional boxer.

Throughout his successful years and beyond, Eubank developed a reputation for eccentricity. In a poll published by BBC Homes and Antiques magazine in January 2006, Eubank was voted the second most eccentric star (after Björk).
Speaking with a lisp and in affected upper-class tones; dressing as a stereotypically upper-class Englishman (in jodhpurs, bowler hat and riding boots; sporting a monocle) and carrying a silver-tipped cane, such affectations have provoked criticism in tabloid newspapers.
However, in 1991 and 1993 he won Britain's Best Dressed Man award, given by the Menswear Association of Great Britain.
