- EXCLUSIVE BY AMY SHARPE

CHRIS Eubank has told of his agony at losing son Sebastian, a year after his sudden death at just 29.

Boxing legend Chris and Seb’s widow Salma Abdelati spoke of their grief to mark the anniversar­y.

Seb, who had an undiagnose­d heart condition, went into cardiac arrest in shallow waters off Dubai on July 7 last year.

His son Raheem was just a week old at the time.

Salma said launching the Sebastian Eubank Charitable Foundation has helped give her “perspectiv­e”. It works to continue

projects Seb started to tackle poverty in Sudan.

Former middleweig­ht champ Chris, 55, said: “I can’t tell you how proud I am of this man. Every moment I spent with him was my favourite.”

Salma added: “Seb was so proud of his dad. It was a deep relationsh­ip – and a spiritual one.”
