“I am happy to welcome Chris to the 888poker family as our Cultural Ambassador. The authenticity, integrity, and excitement he brings – whether that’s in the ring or at the poker table – perfectly matches our values and creates a great fit for our brand.”
He added:
“This is a fantastic partnership and an exciting kick-off for our 20th anniversary year.

Eubank Jr, the former two-time IBO-super middleweight champion, called poker as “one of the great passions in my life”, having played in high stakes poker games and appeared on the Poker After Dark series. He said:
“For me, the beauty of poker is in its community and 888poker is doing a fantastic job of making poker more about fun and less about the grind for players in all levels with its user-friendly platform.
I’m excited to officially kick-start the partnership in the coming months and can’t wait to meet the 888poker community at the tables!”
