Chris Eubank Sr was spotted walking side-by-side with his son ahead of his showdown against Conor Benn despite their public family feud.
They were pictured entering the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium together on Saturday night in a shocking sign that they may have finally buried the hatchet.
Former world champion Eubank Sr had branded his son ‘disgusting’ for accepting the fight with Benn but he will now be ringside after the surprise U-turn.
Only last week, Eubank Sr told SecondsOut that he would be skipping the bout, saying: ‘I will not be an accomplice to their stupidity, their circus.’
Sr was adamant he would not return to Jr’s corner after he smashed an egg on Benn’s face and was forced to take on a significant weight cut.
He even blasted his eldest son as a ‘disgrace’.
Eubank Jr held out hope that his father would change his mind despite not speaking for ‘years’, admitting ‘these things are what pain is to me’.
But the crowd at Tottenham’s stadium was reduced to a frenzy after a black car pulled up and Eubank Sr stepped out, quickly followed by his son.
Spectators screamed and Benn – watching on via a monitor backstage – took in the moment the Eubanks announced their sensational reunion on the world stage.
