Chris Eubank has suffered the heartbreak of losing his son and then his brother Simon and has now opened up on the latter’s fight with dementia that eventually saw him lose his life
Chris Eubank has spoken out on the ‘soul-destroying’ sight of brother Simon eventually losing his five-year fight with dementia.
The former WBO Middleweight champion of the world said: “He had been living locked in his own body for the last two years. To see someone spasming all the time they’re awake for a year and a half is soul-destroying.” He further added that he had been ‘training’ his own brain in an effort to combat any dementia diagnosis and claimed that he had taken cognitive damage “nowhere like a lot of fighters”.
