Chris Eubank Sr says his shock arrival before his son's unanimous points win over Conor Benn was the "moment of a lifetime".
The pair had supposedly been estranged for years and Eubank Sr, 58, had criticised the match-up.
He was not expected to make an appearance on Saturday, before surprising the crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when he emerged from Chris Eubank Jr's car.
Speaking on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, Eubank Sr was emotional as he recalled the poignant moment, which he says "moved the nation and the world".
Eubank Sr says he did not contact his son until the eve of the fight and said he put on a "disguise" to visit him in a hotel.
"I'm welling up now," Eubank Sr said.
"A moment of a lifetime. It looks like it has been orchestrated by a director, for the car to pull up where it did, for me to be on the left-hand side of the car.
"For me to push the door open and put one foot down and there is the world's media. I chuckled.
"I was directed spiritually, I'm good but I'm not that good, that is why it moved the nation and the world."
