Contact Music reports that Morrissey has retired boxer Eubank as a 'body guard'. Contact Music also oddly describes Morrissey as "former gay Smiths frontman".

Morrissey hangs out with Eubank - contactmusic.com

Singer MORRISSEY has found an unusual companion in his new hometown of Rome - former World middleweight boxing champion CHRIS EUBANK.

The recently divorced and bankrupt fighter has retreated to the Italian capital and has been acting as an informal 'bodyguard' for the gay former SMITHS frontman.

Morrissey reveals, "Chris is my recently appointed minder. By all accounts he'll be very busy."

      Can't help but feel a little troubled about this particular alliance.

      Mr Eubanks credibility must be in question after that reality TV thing and his mental state has long been speculated upon.

      Can you honestly imagine the two of them walking along the street together-what a sight to behold!

      Maybe Moz has decided to throw a lifeline to an ex-boxer currently down on his luck, which I guess is commendable enough.

      Oh to be a fly on the wall when these two sit down for tea and toast!!!

      Ignore me-I think I'm just pissed that Nigel Benn didn't get the job-I've had a bit of a thing for him for years......

        Moz can hardly moan too much about the "gay" tag (Score:0)
        now he's put the lyric "nothing entered me, till you came with the key" down on record.

        I always find the media weird. Robbie Williams has expressed some sexual interest in men and indeed lived with a gay man in a London apartment but because he's a jack the lad, they always treat him as being straight, whereas Morrissey is always assumed to be gay even though he's hinted at relationships with men and women before.

          This is terrible. I can't imagine why Morrissey would require a body guard, anyway. I adore Morrissey- but I don't think a body guard is necessary.

          Anyhow- whatever happened to Jake Walters-? Wasn't he also a pugilist and bodyguard?

          This Eubank fellow seems odd and attention-seeking.

            How many times does Morrissey have to be quoted as being "asexual", indifferent to sex, or that he "can't imagine living with someone"?

            I it mystifies me that people are getting so hot under the collar about the "I entered nothing, and nothing entered me" lyric. Christ, do any of the outraged among you understand what "Piccadilly Palare" or "Billy Budd" were referring to?

            The use of the word "gay" in this article is just lazy journalism. We must be getting short of news items for this to make the main page.
