BBC’s Eubank Father–Son Documentary Debuts on iPlayer as Benn Rematch Nears

Critics praise an unusually intimate portrait of a strained father–son bond set against the Benn rivalry.

Overview

  • The hour-long film, The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son, is now streaming in the U.K. on BBC iPlayer.
  • Directed by Hassan Ghazi, the documentary promises behind-the-scenes access to Chris Eubank Sr. and Chris Eubank Jr. during a period of estrangement and tentative rapprochement.
  • Reviews highlight raw, moving storytelling, with The Times awarding four stars and noting the film’s frankness about family tensions.
  • The story is framed by boxing history and Eubank Jr.’s April victory over Conor Benn, with a rematch scheduled at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15.
  • No international broadcast has been announced, though viewing guides note that U.K. users abroad often turn to VPNs to access iPlayer.
