Eccentric boxing superstar Chris Eubank has given his two teenage sons up for adoption, it was sensationally revealed this week.
Eubank, who lost his £1.3 Million fortune and was declared bankrupt, met single mum Irene Hutton in a Paris hotel in 2006. He strolled up to the stranger and introduced himself as Christopher Livingstone Eubank, telling her he was an ambassador. They got chatting, and within a matter of months Eubank had convinced Ms Hutton to take in his two teenage sons, Chris Junior and Sebastian.
Eubank arrived at Irene Hutton’s home in Las Vegas with his two sons in September 2006, he asked her to take care of them for two weeks initially but later asked her to raise the boys in America permanently where they would have more opportunities.
Hutton agreed, and also agreed to Eubank’s insistence that the adoption remained a closely guarded secret. In November 2006 Ms Hutton was appointed legal guardian of the two boys and has raised them in Las Vegas ever since.
However, this week she spilled the beans to British newspaper The People, telling reporters that Eubank had visited his sons only once since she adopted them and claiming she wants the world to know what he’s done so he has to face up to his responsibilities.
Surely, handing your children over to adoption is basically handing over your responsibilities?
Eubank has been living out of a suitcase for the past two years moving from one friends house to the next, and believes the stability Ms Hutton had to offer was the best solution to his parenting problems.
