Boxing fans ALL say SAME thing during James DeGale vs Chris Eubank - involves his dad
BOXING fans were all asking the SAME thing during James DeGale's fight with Chris Eubank Jnr.
And it involved the latter's boxing legend dad - namely, why he was wearing a police badge!
Thousands took to Twitter to ponder why Eubank Snr, 52, had the bizarre item during ITV's boxing coverage.
"Is Eubank Sr wearing a sheriff’s badge?" asked one while another said "why is Eubank Snr wearing a LA Police badge?????"
"Eubank snr loves that police badge," laughed another. A fellow user, with three crying emojis, wrote: "Eubank wearing a police badge."
"Chris Eubank Sr wearing that police badge is killing me," joked a fellow viewer. "Seeing Eubank Snr’s sheriff badge has made my evening. #DeGaleEubankJr," tweeted another.
While one asked: "Is Eubank snr actually ‘a sheriff’ !?"
Eubank Sr posted an odd video of himself on Twitter last year in front of a car crash while working as a police officer in America.
The boxing great was made a certified law enforcement marshal while workign with members of law enforcement in Louisiana. That came during his tour across the US where he lectured on peace.
Eubank posted a video on his Twitter account at the scene of the smash while wearing a multi-coloured bow tie - complete with a badge.
Alongside the post he wrote: “Sergeant Eubank proudly on duty in Louisiana. All warriors protect and serve, whether one wears a badge or not."
In the video he said: “This is simply a car crash – doesn’t look too bad, no injuries, but I don’t have a rain coat like the rest of the officers, but that’s okay.”
