Chris Eubank Jr is reportedly facing a $500,000 fine after missing weight ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Conor Benn this Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The 35-year-old arrived late to the scheduled official weigh-in and made two attempts to hit the 160lb limit, with his second try falling just short at 160.05lbs. Both fighters will now take part in a ceremonial weigh-in later this afternoon, with the eyes of the world watching.
The fight contract also includes a clause preventing Eubank from weighing over 170lbs at Saturday morning’s rehydration check, with a further hefty fine in place if he exceeds the limit.
According to reports from Mike Coppinger, the full amount of the fine will go to bitter rival Conor Benn, while Eubank may also face an additional penalty from the British Boxing Board of Control.
The IBO Middleweight champion has already faced a fine of £100,000 for a press conference incident earlier this year hitting Benn in the face with an egg during their face-off.
Conor Benn Demands Smaller Ring for Chris Eubank Jr Clash
Conor Benn has demanded a smaller ring for his showdown with rival Chris Eubank Jr, with the two fighters set to meet in a contracted 18-foot ring this Saturday night.
“The only thing I asked for in my contract was an eighteen foot ring so let that tell you how I’m feeling,” said Benn to Sky Sports Boxing.
“He ain’t going to be ready for whats coming anyway, so you want to sit here and say am I coming in there to steamroll him of course I am, you think im coming I’m there to muck about, you don’t get paid for overtime.”
“It’s not a matter of let’s have a little move around, come and meet me in the middle then, thats just how I am. Thats my sort of mentality going into any fight and every fight.”
