Chris Eubank is divorcing his second wife after their long distance relationship takes its toll
Ex-super-middleweight champion has reluctantly split from his partner as it emerges couple have not spoken for a YEAR
BOXING legend Chris Eubank is divorcing his second wife after living in separate countries took its toll.
Their relationship could not survive the time they spent apart as he focused on his son’s fight career.
The former world super-middleweight champion, 50, has reluctantly split from Dubai-based Claire Geary.
In the last two years Chris and Claire have lived together for just three months. They have not spoken in 12 months.
They married on holiday in Las Vegas in 2014.
But they grew apart with Claire staying in the Middle East while Chris concentrated on Chris Jnr’s boxing.
He is seeking a no-fault divorce with neither party guilty of wrong-doing.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Claire was in Dubai full time and so the relationship was doomed. The couple have moved on and both agree a divorce is right. There is no animosity and the couple will remain friends.” Claire works as a manager for Emirates Airline.
