Buncey sits down for an open and candid conversation with Chris Eubank Jr. They explore his journey from stepping out of his father's shadow to taking control of his career, covering everything from his early days as a young professional boxer to his desire to avenge the loss to Billy Joe Saunders, the possibility of a fight with Conor Benn, and a potential showdown with Canelo in May next year.
