CHRIS Eubank Jr has shared an emotional tribute to his brother on what would have been his 31st birthday.

Sebastian Eubank, who had recently become a father, died from a heart attack in the United Arab Emirates a year ago.

His funeral was held in Dubai.

A year on from his brother’s death, Chris Eubank Jr shared a photo of Sebastian on what is thought to be Brighton beach.

Sharing the picture on Twitter, Chris said: “Happy birthday my brother. Today your son walked his first steps - what a birthday present.

“Watch over us king.”

Sebastian, who left wife Salma and son Raheem, would have turned 31 on July 18.

Raheem, grandson of boxing legend Chris Eubank, was just 32 days old when his father died unexpectedly.

Last year, Chris posed 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 is believed to be by Brighton street artist Fek, known for his Grumpy Monkey designs which can be spotted around the city.

The mural shows Sebastian’s face alongside the words “RIP Sebastian Eubank, 91-21”.

Candles and flowers were laid underneath it.

Chris Jr previously paid tribute to his brother on Twitter, saying 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 newborn son and I will treat him like my own.

"Watch over us until we meet again young lion.”

Sebastian’s mother Karron Meadows said at the time: “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.
