Eubank Sr. and Conor’s dad Nigel were rivals in the ring during the 1990s.

And their sons made sure to include their boxing legacy as they walked on in front of a capacity crowd in North London.

Eubank came out to his dad’s song Simply the Best by Tina Turner, before it morphed into Still Dre by Dr Dre.

Benn had also had a word with the Tottenham DJ and mimicked his dad’s walk-on song.

The 28-year-old strode out to Dangerous by Conroy Smith, facing whistles and jeers from the crowd head on.

Benn hugged his father in the ring ahead of the eagerly-awaited dust-up.

While Eubank Sr had earlier stunned fans after arriving at the arena unannounced.

The 58-year-old had branded his son a “disgrace” in a bad-tempered build up to the fight.

But he was beside his side as Next Gen stepped out into the cool night air in the capital.
