The role of father figure is not unfamiliar territory for Eubank Jr, who took on parental responsibilities under tragic circumstances nearly five years ago.

In July 2021, his brother Sebastien died suddenly while in the sea in Dubai after suffering a heart attack. Sebastien left behind a son, Raheem, who was just one month old.

Eubank Jr immediately stepped up to care for his infant nephew, providing the guidance and support that the boy's father could no longer give.

The boxer has since spoken openly about the profound impact Raheem has had on his life.

In a previous interview, Eubank Jr recalled the emotional moment he first held Raheem at his brother's graveside.

He said: "His energy and him being very quiet while on my chest gave me peace. I felt then that everything would be OK. I felt that we might have a second chance here."

The boxer has spoken of his determination to secure Raheem's future, acknowledging he has limited years remaining in his fighting career.

Eubank Jr has been absent from the ring since suffering a points defeat to Conor Benn at Tottenham last November.

He has been recovering from the physical toll of two demanding weight cuts for their consecutive catchweight bouts.
