CHRIS Eubank Jr has shared an emotional tribute to his brother on what would have been his 30th birthday while posing in front of a mural in his memory.
Sebastian Eubank, who recently became a father, died from a heart attack in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month.
His family held a funeral in Dubai on Saturday, his father Chris Eubank Sr revealed.
Sebastian’s brother, has now shared a photo of him in front of a large mural that has been painted in Trafalgar Lane, Brighton, in his brother’s memory.
Sharing the image on Twitter, he said: “A king on earth… now a king in heaven. Happy Birthday bro.”
The mural appears to have been painted by Brighton and Hove-based street artist Fek – known for his Grumpy Monkey designs which can be spotted around the city.
The artwork shows Sebastian’s face alongside the words “RIP Sebastian Eubank, 91-21”.
Candles and flowers had also been laid underneath the mural.

Sebastian, who leaves behind his wife Salma and new born son Raheem, would have turned 30 on July 18.
Chris Jr previously paid tribute to his brother on Twitter, stating he had not cried since he was 12 years old, until he heard the news.
"I’m sorry I wasn’t there to watch your back like a big brother’s supposed to,” he said.
"Can’t believe you’re really gone man, but you’ll always be in my heart, mind and spirit.
"Now your legacy will live on through your beautiful new born son and I will treat him like my own.
"Watch over us until we meet again young lion.”
Sebastian’s mother Karron Meadows said: “Our whole family is grieving at the huge loss of our son and brother, Sebastian.
"Please respect our grief and privacy while we try to comprehend our loss.”
Sebastian had fought twice as a professional boxer, winning both fights on points.
