Chris Eubank Sr., born Christopher Livingston Eubank on August 8, 1966, in Dulwich, London, is a former British professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 1998. Renowned for his flamboyant personality, eccentric style, and resilience in the ring, he was a two-weight world champion, holding the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles during the 1990s. Below is a concise overview of his boxing career and legacy, tailored to your interest in him as a boxer, with context relevant to his era alongside Frank Bruno.

**Boxing Career**:

- **Professional Career (1985–1998)**:
  - **Record**: 45 wins (23 by knockout, 5 by decision), 5 losses, 2 draws in 52 fights.
  - **Middleweight (1988–1991)**: Won the WBO middleweight title in 1990 by defeating Nigel Benn in a fierce all-British clash, defending it 10 times. Known for his unorthodox style, combining defensive prowess with precise counterpunching.
  - **Super-Middleweight (1991–1995)**: Captured the WBO super-middleweight title in 1991 against Michael Watson, though the fight ended tragically with Watson suffering a life-altering brain injury. Eubank defended this title 14 times, facing top contenders like Carl Thompson and Graciano Rocchigiani.
  - **Notable Fights**:
    - **vs. Nigel Benn (1990, 1993)**: The 1990 fight was a defining moment, with Eubank stopping Benn in the ninth round. Their 1993 rematch ended in a controversial draw, with 93,000 fans at Old Trafford.
