Nope, Eubank worked Naz's corner at the 1990 European Cup in the Costa Del Sos - it was just a few hours before Herol Graham fought Julian Jackson.Originally posted by Pugilistic_PolarbearWas that the one where Chris Eubank worked his corner?
Eubank was one of Naz's hero's. Eubank had spent some time sparring with Bomber Graham early in 1987 (they'd met in Las Vegas in summer 1986), and got really close Naz. All of Eubank's family and friends from Brighton crossed the Atlantic to watch Eubank fight some dude called James Canty, Naz was there and it was the first time Eubank jumped the ropes and did all the posing - it left an impression on Naz and he wanted to be like Eubank. Then he saw Eubank back in the UK in 88/89 making flashy ring entrances and jumping the ropes again and tried copying some of Eubank's moves in amateur bouts.Last edited by JuicyJuice; 03-07-2006, 02:08 AM.Comment

Chris banks on Naz to say sorry
CHRIS EUBANK is demanding a public apology from Naseem Hamed for branding him a copycat.
British boxing's two most charismatic characters share top billing at Manchester's Nynex Arena on April 18. And Eubank has re-opened the feud which has already landed them in hot water with their governing body.
"One day I was watching TV when Naz said 'good luck to Chris Eubank, he's stolen all my moves.' I couldn't believe it. In the 50 fights I've had, I've jumped over the rope every time and never tripped.
"The man's called me a fraud and you just don't do that. You don't attack another fighter, especially when he's not even in your own weight class. Naz has apologised in private, but that's not good enough. He must apologise to all the people who saw that interview."
Eubank and Hamed, who defends his WBO featherweight title on the Manchester bill against Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vazquez, were rebuked by the British Boxing Board of Control for a dust-up at Heathrow Airport after they both fought in Sheffield last October.
Now Eubank, in retreat in Cornwall as he prepares to challenge fellow Brit Carl Thompson for the WBO cruiserweight crown, has come out of hiding to admit Hamed's verbals get under his skin.
"He has talked about my nostrils being too big, that I am ugly and copy his moves. It's childish.
"Does it bother me? Yes. It's not nice, especially as I like the kid and have guided him. Naz used to call me up. He came to my wedding uninvited, but it was nice to have him there. He was such a nice kid and still is, as long as the camera's aren't on him."
