Chris Eubank Jr has surprised fans with the news that he is expecting twin boys, revealing the moment he told his father in a heartfelt clip from the BBC series The Eubanks Like Father Like Son. The thirty six year old boxer kept the announcement private until now, sharing it publicly for the first time with a message about how grateful he feels to be joining the dad gang.

Posting the video on social media, Eubank Jr told his followers that he will soon be welcoming two sons with his partner, whose identity he has chosen not to reveal. In the clip he sits down with his father, Chris Eubank Sr, and says he is ready to begin a new chapter in his life. He then tells him that two grandsons are on the way, leaving the former world champion visibly emotional.

Eubank Jr wrote that becoming a father of two at once feels like a blessing and promised to give his boys the happiest upbringing he possibly can. He added that he hopes to give them the same love and support that he received growing up.

Fans were quick to congratulate the boxer, celebrating the wholesome announcement and praising the touching moment between father and son.

The news comes during a busy period in Eubank Jr’s professional career. His return to the ring to face long time rival Conor Benn ended in a tough loss, a sharp contrast to their first fight in which Eubank Jr came out victorious with a one hundred sixteen to one hundred twelve decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite the defeat, supporters say the joy of becoming a father will no doubt be the brightest chapter of his year.

The twins are expected to arrive next year, marking a major milestone for the boxer as he prepares to balance fatherhood with the next steps in his fighting career.
