Wow there is so much interesting **** in that article.

First & f#cking foremost, Chris Eubank Sr changed his name to English Eubank???? What the f#ck.....idek wtf to say about that. Is Chris Eubank Jr gonna change his name to English Eubank Jr now?

Also its cool you can opt out of a contract if you lose a purse bid (in the UK). Seems like that doesn't happen in the US or at least guys don't seem to do that or let things get to that point. Would be SUPER interesting in some of these big fights situations among competing parties (networks, promoters) if a purse bid did or does give the option to walk from a contract. Although I tend to expect Eubank stays with Hearn as Hearns seems like the guy to be with in the UK or if he leaves it'll only be for the one fight.

And lastly, looks like Hennessy got that Fury HW champion money now lol. Dude is like yes give me that 2nd biggest **** talker in the UK guys fight NOW!!!

He opted out because chris was only going to make 80k since the bid was won for like 220k

Chris Eubank's dad nickname was english so i think he has stolen it as he admires the name for some reason.

He hasn't actually changed his name officially, he just likes to be called English, it's a tribute to his dad, whose nickname was English. I don't get why people get so annoyed or angry about it, who cares at the end of the day?
