Oh No! Boxing Legend, Chris Eubank's Son Sebastian Drowns In Dubai Just Days Before 30th Birthday

In what will come across as a really heartbreaking development, boxing legend, Chris Eubank's son has tragically drowned in Dubai just days before his 30th birthday.

The former boxing champ's son Sebastian, 29, became a dad for the first time a month ago and was making a life for himself in the UEA with wife Salma.

His devastated dad Chris Eubank Sr has hailed his "loved" son a "deep thinker" as he paid a heartfelt tribute to him.

"Never did I ever imagine I would write these words or experience the feeling I now have at the loss of my son," he said,

"My family and I are devastated to hear of the death of Sebastian just days before what would have been his 30th birthday.

“He leaves his wife Salma, his son Raheem born just a month ago, his mother Karron Meadows, brothers Nathanael, Chris, Jr, Joseph, one sister Emily and countless relatives and friends.  

“Sebastian grew up in Hove in England but in the last few years made his life in Dubai where he had a wide circle of friends and was a leader in the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and of alternative therapies."

Eubank Sr said his son had been working as a personal trainer and professional boxer.

"Sebastian was also a deep thinker who liked to challenge accepted wisdom," he added.

"He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be forever in the thoughts of friends and family.

"As a family we now kindly ask to be given space and privacy to celebrate his life and remember the son, the brother, the husband, the friend.”

Friends have also paid tribute to him as a "true gentleman" as news of the tragedy was shared.

Following in his dad's footsteps, Sebastian made his MM

Sebastian was born in 1991 and, like his older brother Chris Jr, was born in Brighton before moving to the US.

Sebastian is survived by his dad, mum Karron Meadows, brothers Chris Jr, Nathanael and Joseph, his sister Emily, as well as his wife and son.

His mum Karron said: "Our whole family is grieving at the huge loss of our son and brother, Sebastian.

While his brother, Chris Eubank Jr - who is also a professional boxer, added on Twitter: "Rest easy little brother, I love you and you will be missed always."
