Chris Eubank Jr. will be returning to ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ next year.
The 29-year-old professional boxer and his dad, retired legendary pugilist Chris Eubank, made their debut on the Channel 4 show in 2019 sharing their views on the television programmes that are watched by the British public.
Chris enjoyed filming the series and getting to have some fun with his "old man" and the producers must have been happy with their contribution because the pair have been invited to be on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ again.
Speaking at the official NFL Kickoff Party held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Thursday night (05.09.19), he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "’Gogglebox’ was good, I had a lot of fun, but it was kind of weird having cameras on you 24/7 when you’re watching TV. But I think I came across well, I had a lot of fun with my old man and they want us back next year so yeah, it was good."
Away from the ring, Chris is a big fan of the NFL and when he is in the US for training camps and other commitments he always makes sure he checks out the football games.
He said: "I am a fan. I spend a lot of time out in the States and I watch a lot of football when I’m out there."
Chris won’t be letting his occasional TV work become a distraction and he will be announcing a bout in the next few weeks.
The IBO super-middleweight champion is itching to fight some of the biggest names in his division, such as Canelo Alvarez.
He said: "I’m looking to fight within the next couple of months. There’ll be an announcement within the next two to three weeks and it will be a big fight so stay tuned. At this stage of my career I just want to fight the best, world titles, big names. Fan friendly fights are what we’re looking to get and there’ll be a big fight within the next couple of months."
Chris was at the exclusive NFL Kickoff Party to celebrate the start of the 2019/20 NFL season and this autumn London plays host to two regular season games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and two at Wembley Stadium.
You can follow the NFL season on Sky Sports, BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer as well as via NFL Game Pass.
