Matt Taylor Backs Chris Eubank for Brighton Mayor in 2026.

In a surprising political move, maverick politician and Brighton and Hove mayoral candidate for 2026, Matt Taylor, has announced he is willing to step aside and throw his support behind boxing legend Chris Eubank to become the city’s first democratically elected mayor.

Taylor, leader of the King Arthur Political Party, has long championed himself as the ideal candidate to bring change to Brighton. However, in a statement today, he revealed he believes Eubank is the only person better suited for the role.



“In the interests of what is best for Brighton, there is only one person who I believe is a better candidate than myself, and that's Chris Eubank,” Taylor declared. “While he may not be a Brightonian by birth, he chose Brighton to raise his family, and his children are Brightonian. Chris Eubank has been a champion of Brighton for as long as I can remember, and I urge him to consider running as Brighton’s first democratically elected mayor.”


Chris Eubank, the former world champion boxer, is known not only for his achievements in the ring but also for his larger-than-life personality and deep connection to Brighton, where he lived for many years. His presence in the city has made him a local icon, and Taylor believes he possesses the leadership and charisma needed to guide Brighton into a new era.



Taylor’s endorsement of Eubank raises intriguing questions about the upcoming election and whether the boxing legend will heed the call to enter the political ring. Brighton’s first mayoral race is already shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable in the city's history.
