Eubank

It appears Chris Eubank is bankrupt, owing 1.3 million having squandered over 10 million of his personal fortune. It doesn’t get any better though, Mrs Eubank has walked out with the kids and he’s now living in rented accommodation. When I read the full story I didn’t feel sorry for the guy at all, firstly he’s always been an arrogant plush suited monocle wearing fop, all very self deluding considering he comes from a poor background.

So what went wrong?

Mr Eubank himself blames it on poor financial advice; other sources say he never took any advice at all. It seems that each day lawbreaking fines would land on the door mat as Eubank liked to park his American truck anywhere in Brighton he chose to, on one occasion he took the family to cinema in it, only for it to be removed and a hefty fine incurred. That’s just one tale of his excess fuelled lifestyle, when shopping in London’s Knightsbridge Eubank decided to take a taxi 300 yards to another shop on the same street, surely an athlete would prefer to walk the short journey in no time at all? – not Eubank. There’s other tales of unpaid fines, court appearances and £1,400 meals he preferred not to pay for.

Expect to see him back in the boxing ring soon - hopefully someone will knock some common sense into him.

He is a great british eccentric and true he was a good boxer but come on guys does that really give him the right to break laws constantly just because his wealth allowed him too? When Bruno lost the plot the nation felt pity and rallied behind him, i doubt the nation will feel much empathy for Mr Eubank.

I saw his truck thing parked up in Trafalgar Square on the anti-war marches. Quite unnecessary in a city like London but I do have to admit quite a soft spot for the fella. An English eccentic can get away with a lot.
