| Chris Eubank Senior claims his son is now a boxer in his own right |
CHRIS EUBANK SR claimed his son stepped out of his shadow with his demolition of Gary O'Sullivan.
Eubank Jr, 26, became the mandatory challenger for WBA middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs after O'Sullivan retired at the end of the seventh round.
The son of former two-weight world champion Eubank Sr looked stunning as he picked apart the brave Irishman and landed huge right uppercuts that shook his man to his boots.
And his father said: "This performance showed he has stepped out of my shadow and out on his own."
Luke Campbell admitted he made a number of mistakes as he suffered a shock first defeat of his career.
The London 2012 Olympic lightweight gold medallist was put down for the first time in his career in his 13th professional bout during a split decision loss to veteran Frenchman Yvan Mendy.
"There are no excuses," he said. "That's the first time I've done 12 rounds in my career. I feel as though I made a few mistakes in there."
Cruiserweight Tony Bellew lifted the European title, beating Pole Mateusz Masternak, but Kevin Mitchell’s career could be over after being stopped by Ismael Barroso.
