Chris Eubank Jr has reportedly landed himself an acting role in season two of Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix series, The Gentlemen.

The 35-year-old former WBO interim middleweight champion is said to be delighted to the cast for the series.

Telling the story of Edward ‘Eddie’ Horniman (played by Theo James), The Gentlemen is a popular series that has earned plenty of plaudits.

Eddie, the 14th Duke of Halstead, inherits a country estate run by gangsters.

Unsurprisingly, Eubank’s role will be that of a boxer.

Speaking to The Sun, a TV expert explained: “Naturally, Chris will play a boxer, and a big part of The Gentlemen is about fighting because it’s a sport the gangsters in the show are embroiled in.

“Guy Ritchie has frequently involved boxing in his gangster dramas, most notably Snatch, which had Brad Pitt as a bare-knuckle fighter.”

Eubank’s father, Chris Eubank Sr, is thought to be thrilled at his son’s role.

Alongside lead actor Theo James, infamous hard-man Vinnie Jones makes a return. Jones plays the baseball-bat wielding Georffrey Seacombe in classic fashion.

Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville is also among the cast. He is best known for playing Robert Crawley in the ITV period drama.

Based on the 2019 film of the same name, the original version starred Hugh Grant and Matthew McConaughey.
