The Eubanks aren’t the only boxing family trying to establish a dynasty.
While Chris Eubank Jr prepares for his first British middleweight title defence, Nigel Benn’s son Conor is looking to make a name for himself.
The 19-year-old will face Luke Keleher on Saturday as part of the undercard for Ricky Burns’ fight against Michele di Rocco.
And Conor has been showcasing his movement and quick hands at an open training session in front of an interested crowd in Scotland.

Opponent Keleher goes into the bout with a 2-4-1 career record, and Benn has said he is “not going to be a problem”.
“If he comes forward like he has in all his fights and tries to take my head off then he’s in trouble, because I like fighters who come forward to have it,” he told Sky Sports.
The teenager is also due to feature early on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s IBF world heavyweight title defence against Dominic Breazale.
George Groves v Martin Murray is one of the other highlights of a Brit-heavy bill, which also includes Eubank Jr’s fight against undefeated challenger Tom Doran.
It will be the second time Benn fights on the same night as Joshua: when AJ was defeating Charles Martin, ‘The Destroyer’ was knocking out Ivailo Boyanov inside the first round.
