A new and deeply personal documentary on BBC Three offers an unprecedented look into the lives of boxing legends Chris Eubank and his son, Chris Eubank Jr. Filmed over the course of a year, The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son moves beyond the spectacle of the ring to deliver a raw and candid portrait of a family navigating profound challenges.
Beyond the Boxing Ring
The film is built on behind-the-scenes footage and intimate interviews, allowing both men to open up about subjects rarely discussed in public. They delve into the complexities of their own strained relationship, exploring the themes of rivalry and reconciliation. A central and heartbreaking part of the narrative addresses the family's journey with grief following the tragic death of Chris Eubank's other son, Sebastian Eubank in 2021.
A Candid Conversation on Modern Masculinity
This documentary promises to be more than a sports profile. It tackles the concept of modern masculinity head-on, examining how these two public figures process emotion, loss, and the expectations placed upon them. The year-long filming period provides a unique opportunity to witness the evolution of their bond as they work on rebuilding their connection with each other.
