Thanks for clearing that up

[shahida TKO]

eubank is the slave name..

the surname means a person who lives at the U of a river bank.

I was not aware of this.

When did this happen because this has eluded me.

For as long as I recall he went by Eubank without an S. But yes he was often regarded "Eubanks"

Just check his wikipedia page for one. He legally changed it to remove the S later in his life. It's been discussed in a few interviews also, Frank Warren did one for IFLTV.

Christopher Livingstone Eubanks was his name before he decided to change it.

I'm with you I'm just curious as to when that was done because to my knowledge he never went as "Eubanks" as a boxer.

It was a long time ago. The reason is actually hilarious (or sad, depending on your outlook). Apparently he didn't like people taking the piss about not being able to say his name properly because of his lisp, so he changed it so that it wouldn't have an 's' at the end.

More recently, he spent £31,000 to cure his lisp.

I have never heard anyone call Eubank - Eubanks, I have however heard people called them 'The Eubanks' in reference to both Jr and sr. Kell Brook is the one that know people would never get right.

I'd be asking for a refund if i was him. Sounds like he always did.

Anyway, i think he did possibly start his career with the name Eubanks, his brother too Peter Eubanks. I never actually knew it was changed due to a lisp though, otherwise he should call himself Chri not Chris.

I actually though Snr would only respond to 'English' these days...

There's no mention of it in his autobiography and he has all his family members down as Eubank including his father. He does state that he saw a lady called Melanie Bloor who taught him how to better pronounce his 'S's though.

In the marriages and divorces register he's down as Eubank in 1990 so it was before then.
