    His brother/half brother fought under that name. His brother/half brother beat Barry McGuigan, which makes it an honour for anyone as shite as Chris to be called "Eubanks":warning:

    That's his name, or at least it was in all of his earlier fights. His full name, I believe, is Christopher Livingstone Eubanks. I'm not even sure when or why it was later changed to Eubank.

    To (mis)quote Eddie Murphy:

    "His momma named him Eubanks: I'm gonna call him Eubanks!"

    MTF :lol:

    Funny this would even come up, but I have his NY State License Application from when he first started his career in the U.S.. back in 1985, and even then he referred to himself as "Eubank"...............or at least that's how he filled out his paperwork.
