Nigel Benn with his sons Harley and Conor
Wilson - who is now close with Eubank Jr and his cousin Harlem - has a professional boxing record of eight wins, two losses and one draw.
Meanwhile Harley was born just days apart from his brother Conor and also had a rocky relationship with his dad Nigel.
And Harley revealed he recently lost touch with brother Conor and his iconic former world champion father.
Conor, 28, was beaten in April by Eubank Jr, 35, in their second generation grudge match at Tottenham.

But the family feud - started by Eubank Sr's 1990 win over Nigel and draw three years later - could be extended further.
Wilson, 36, took to Instagram to call out Harley with the message: "UNFINISHED BUSINESS!! The EUBANK BENN saga continues."
Harley, 28, responded: "Okay you're serious let's get it cracking."
Wilson has not fought since 2020 when he was stopped in three rounds by Stu Greener.

Harley on the other hand 9-2 and currently signed to Misfits Boxing - the home of celebrity-style crossover bouts.
He was due to face 15-3 Joe Laws on KSI's undercard in March - but the Misfits co-founder pulled out through injury.
Harley was in talks to fight Wilson in 2022 - when Eubank Jr was first due to face Benn.
But Benn was pulled out after failing a drug test - until his doping case was later dropped.
A rematch with Eubank Jr is already pencilled in with September 27 at Tottenham targeted.

Galal Yafai reveals beatdowns he took from his older champion brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today
GALAL YAFAI reveals the beatdowns he took from his champion older brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today. Yafai grew up as the youngest boxer in the household and admits it was constant civil war at home older siblings Gamal and Kal. 4 4 4 He told SunSport: "My mum would come in screaming and shouting, we'd always end up fighting but I knew my place when you're like ten years old or nine years old. "Two-three years is a big difference. When they were 13-14 years old and I'm only just 10, it's a big jump. So yeah, I knew my position. I used to get beaten up on a little bit!" Despite taking his fair share of brotherly blows, Yafai admits the real wars came between Kal and Gamal. He said: "They were closer in age and I think they felt sorry for me a little bit because I was a little bit smaller than them. "They had the real big fights and my mum used to come out shouting and it was kind of like hillbilly style. It kind of helped us to get where we got to. "Kal was always better than me, Gamal was always bigger and better so I don't think I ever got the better of everyone really. "I could hold my own, well I could hold my own when I got a bit older, but I think they took it easy on me. "But they always helped me anyway, it helped in my career." Yafai trained as a teenager and watched his older brothers become amateur champions - later replicating that success in the professional ranks. The youngest of the pack only began boxing again at 18 but by 2021 he was on the Olympic champion after packing in his job working in a Land Rover factory. Boxing icon Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as he chats with locals Now he is undefeated and 9-0 as a pro - meanwhile ex-world champ Kal, 36, is retired and Gamal, 33, now coaches the younger generation. But Yafai - who returns on Saturday against Francisco Rodriguez Jr in a bid to earn a shot at WBC and WBO champ Kenshiro Teraji - doubts brother Gamal will be part of his corner team - preferring he remains just a fan for now. He said: "My coach Rob McCracken sorts all that out and I just like my brothers being there. They help me just being there and showing me support and having my back. "My brother Kal's been in my corner before as like a second in America. But as long as Rob's in my corner and my brothers are there supporting me, yeah, I'm happy." 4

Canelo Alvarez reveals why Terence Crawford is BETTER than Floyd Mayweather… but vows to learn from infamous loss
CANELO ALVAREZ believes Terence Crawford is a BETTER fighter than Floyd Mayweather - the man who handed him his first-ever loss. The Mexican superstar was outclassed over 12 rounds by undefeated great Mayweather in 2013 - while only 23 years old. 3 Fast forward 12 years and Canelo once again faces another undefeated American in Las Vegas - this time Crawford. The mega-fight - streamed on Netflix on September 13 - has drawn comparisons between Canelo's fight with Mayweather over a decade ago. But he said: "I think Crawford is better than Mayweather because he turns his guard to both sides, he's more intelligent. "I think he's better than Floyd Mayweather. That's what I think." Canelo bounced back from defeat to Mayweather - who retired at 50-0 in 2017 - to carve out a Hall of Fame career. But the harrowing points loss is not the the only reason four-division champion Canelo improved so vastly. He said: "I learned in every single fight not just in the Mayweather fight but I learned everything and for every fight. "I'm gonna put all my experience there because I'm gonna need it." 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Canelo, 34, defends the super-middleweight titles he regained by beating Cuban William Scull, 32, in May in Riyadh. Crawford, 37, meanwhile returns for the first time since beating Israil Madrimov, 30, last August to win the 154lb WBA title. Terence Crawford says there is 'nothing' Canelo Alvarez can do to beat him.. He is unbeaten at 41-0 having won belts from lightweight to super-welterweight - now attempting to become undisputed champ at THREE weights. And Canelo admitted: "He can use both guards. He can do everything he can counterpunch, move around, he's a complete fighter. "He's gonna be a difficult fight but you know it's nothing new for me." 3

Saturday's briefing: Wirtz completes Liverpool move and Jackson dismissed in CWC
No fun for Reds' record signing Wirtz Liverpool made Florian Wirtz their £100million record signing (Bradley Collyer/PA) Liverpool's record signing Florian Wirtz insists he has not moved to Anfield to 'have fun' but believes it is the right place for him to improve and be successful. The Premier League champions have paid Bayer Leverkusen £100million for the 22-year-old Germany international but that fee could potentially become a British record as there are £16m of add-ons included. If achieved that would surpass the existing mark of £115m which Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo in 2023 and it is understood Liverpool will be happy to pay these 'aspirational bonuses' as it will mean they have enjoyed considerable success at elite level. 'I'm not coming (to) have fun here, I want also to achieve something and give the fans what they deserve,' Wirtz told the club's website. 'I would like to win everything every year. I'm really ambitious.' Jackson loses cool in Philly heat Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson was sent off just four minutes after coming on at the Club World Cup (Chris Szagola/AP) Nicolas Jackson was sent off as Chelsea crashed to a 3-1 loss to Flamengo at the Club World Cup. Pedro Neto fired the Blues ahead early on but Enzo Maresca's side imploded in the second half in Philadelphia. The Blues conceded twice and saw Jackson dismissed for a horror tackle in the space of just six minutes after the break. Their woes were compounded when Wallace Yan wrapped up the scoring late on, adding to earlier goals from fellow substitute Bruno Henrique and veteran Danilo. The result – played out in temperatures of 27C in front of a crowd of 54,019 at Lincoln Financial Field – left Chelsea with a win and a loss from their two outings in Group D having earlier looked set to take a giant stride towards the last 16. Bale bid for Bluebirds Former Wales forward Gareth Bale is interested in buying Cardiff (Mike Egerton/PA) Gareth Bale is part of a United States investment group wanting to buy League One club Cardiff, according to reports. The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was understood to be part of a consortium that had conversations regarding a takeover of Plymouth earlier this week, along with several other clubs, but it appears they have now turned their attention to south Wales. The Athletic reports that the consortium sent current Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan a letter of intent last month, which included financial figures, but it was rejected. Salah favourite for PFA award Mohamed Salah is in the running for PFA Player of the Year (Peter Byrne/PA) Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah leads a six-player shortlist for the Professional Footballers' Association Men's Player of the Year award. The Egyptian was instrumental in the Reds' Premier League title success last season, scoring 29 goals and adding 18 assists. Earlier this year he was voted footballer of the year by the Football Writers' Association, and will now be favourite to win the vote of his peers. He is joined on the shortlist by team-mate Alexis Mac Allister, Arsenal's Declan Rice, Cole Palmer of Chelsea, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak and Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
