CHRIS EUBANK JR is trying to get Chris Jr out his catchweight match with Conor Benn, amid concerns that he might "lose another child".
Eubank Jr. will drop to 157lb in the next generation bout 30 years after their famous rematch.

According to Daily Mail, his father wants to intervene in the fight and pull his oldest son from the pay-per view.
Eubank Sr. said that "This is modern-day "gladiating", and it is not for the audience.
"We must be strict or lives will be in danger. My son's life cannot also be in danger. It's happened before. It won't happen again."
Sebastian Eubank, Eubank's younger son, was also a boxer and suddenly died last year at the age of 29.
Sebastian, who had left behind Raheem, died tragically after suffering a heart attack in Dubai.
The task of Eubank Jr. dropping to a career-lowest body weight seems to have scared dad Sr.
Eubank Jr., 32, has signed to drop from the 160lb middleweight category, while Benn, 25 jumps up 10lb above his usual welterweight limit.
A clause was also created to limit the weight of the couple the next day due to their size difference.
This would mean that you'd have to weigh in twice. However, neither party has revealed the exact rehydration limit.
Eubank Jr.'s promoters claim that the Sauerland brothers are still training the British fighter.
They were not informed of plans to cancel their fight that was scheduled for October 8 at O2 Arena.
Eubank Sr also stated that he will be considering legal action in order to stop the bout from going ahead.
