BANKRUPT EUBANK'S 900FT TAXI JOURNEY FORMER boxer Chris Eubank hired a taxi to take him 900ft from Harvey Nichols to Harrods yesterday - as a judge declared him bankrupt. Dressed in his trademark riding boots and jodhpurs and carrying a designer "manbag", he shrugged off his money woes by visiting two of the most expensive shops in London. The former middleweight champ, who earned more than £10million in the ring, owes £1.3million in VAT. It's thought other creditors are owed thousands more. Before yesterday's two-minute hearing at the High Court, which he did not attend,he said: "Over the years, I wish I had taken better advice. "I want to put this behind meand get on with my life. Extravagance The court order is the third blow to the 39-year-old this year. In July, it was revealed his wife Karron, 41, had left him. The same month, it emerged he had been forced to sell the £4million family home. He now lives there as a tenant. Eubank's financial problems follow years of extravagance. He had a passion for expensive cars, including a £100,000 bomb-proof Hummer truck, which cost £22,000 to deliver, and a £200,000 Aston Martin that cost £25,000 to insure. He insisted on travelling first class, with an entourage including a hairdresser, portrait artist and tax lawyer. Yesterday, his spokesman said Eubank was just back from South Africa, where he helped build houses for the poor |

![]() To be honest GBC, if Mr Ewbank had the chance to jump into a Merc rather than a TX I think he would have done so, I know I would. Probably another case to be argued for different vehicle types. I don't think you can really draw a comparison between a TX and a Merc Vito or the likes. We drive an over priced pile of [edited by admin]. it has to be said.

But it would'nt be as chaep as the £2.60 estimated fare I would have charged.
