Boxing icon Chris Eubank spotted at Mayo airport as he touches down in Ireland
Boxing icon Chris Eubank was spotted at Knock airport in Mayo as he spends some time in Ireland. The legendary boxer posed for a photo as the Connacht airport shared the snap across their social media channels along with the caption "You never know who you'll bump into at Ireland West Airport. "Delighted to have Chris Eubank arrive at the airport earlier today." Eubank is well known to boxing fans for a number of reasons. During the 90's, he was one of the biggest stars in the sport, holding World titles at both middleweight and super-middleweight. He was a part of some of the biggest fights in the history of British boxing and enjoyed an epic rivalry with Nigel Benn. That rivalry was reignited earlier this year when their sons - Chris Jr and Conor faced off in a massive clash at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, a bout which Eubank Jr won to take the Eubank v Benn family series to two victories for the Eubanks and one draw. Eubank Sr also has a proud history of fighting in Ireland, twice taking on Steve Collins in losing efforts for the Super Middleweight title, The second of those fights took place at Pairc Uí Chaoimh and to this day remains arguably the biggest fight to ever take place in Ireland.

Boxing legend Chris Eubank touches down in Mayo at Knock Airport
The airport posted a picture of the former WBO middleweight and super-middleweight title winner on their social media pages. "You never know who you'll bump into at Ireland West Airport. Delighted to have Chris Eubank arrive at the airport earlier today,' it said. Known for his flamboyant persona and distinctive style, Mr Eubank recorded 45 wins (23 by knockout), five losses, and two draws from 52 fights in his professional boxing career. He has remained a celebrated figure in British boxing since retiring in 1998. He is the father of five children, including Chris Eubank Junior, who is also a professional boxer. Mr Eubank is not the first high-profile name to grace the landing strip at Ireland West Airport Knock. A few days previously, the airport welcomed comedian Jason Manford, who flew in for the start of his Irish tour. In the past decade, the airport has hosted former US President Joe Biden and the late Pope Francis. In 2015, the airport welcomed Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, whose mother, Peggy, hails from nearby Charlestown. Hopes are high in Charlestown that the reunited Gallagher brothers will visit their mother's hometown when Oasis travel to Ireland for their sold-out Croke Park shows in August.

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters is bizarre but unexpectedly moving reality TV
There's just no getting around it. When you first read the concept for ITV's Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (Mondays, 9pm), it sounds like an idea dredged from the depths of Alan Partridge's dictaphone, something to be filed away alongside Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank rather than commissioned by a legitimate real-life broadcaster.

Jack Catterall secures strange win over Harlem Eubank after suffering gruesome cut
Jack Catterall was awarded a technical decision victory over Harlem Eubank on Saturday, as he led on the scorecards when a nasty cut forced the end of the fight – his own cut, no less. Catterall, fighting Eubank at Manchester's AO Arena, led 69-65, 69-66, 69-66 when the bout was halted due to a severe cut over the Chorley boxer's right eye. The action was halted in round seven, much to the chagrin of Eubank – the nephew of British boxing icon Chris Eubank – who made clear his frustration after the bout. 'His corner was told he couldn't continue,' Eubank, 31, told reporters after the bout, which marked Catterall's welterweight debut. 'It was nothing to do with me, and that was a fake narrative live on the commentary. 'There were so-called independent commentators in his dressing room before the fight and coaching him ringside,' Eubank alleged. 'I've not experienced something like that.' When asked to put a name to the accusation, Eubank said: '[Former champion] Carl Frampton. You know, I was a fan of this guy. I feel like I've been done dirty this evening. 'I was carrying out the gameplan to a T, and that is to make him miss and to make him pay late. And if you watch my championship fights, when I take out my opponents, that is exactly how I execute a gameplan. 'And the referee took that away from me tonight in not letting Jack Catterall continue.' Saturday's result marked a first professional defeat for Eubank, while 32-year-old Catterall bounced back from his narrow loss to Arnold Barboza Jr from February.
