Chris Eubank Jr reacts to huge fine for missing weight as Conor Benn vows to 'take his head clean off'
Chris Eubank Jr has dismissed the furore surrounding him marginally missing the weight for his grudge match with Conor Benn, who had no sympathy for his arch-rival as he pledged to “take his head clean off”.
Eubank Jr arrived an hour late and initially weighed in at 160.2 pounds at Friday morning’s behind-closed-doors weigh-in in London, narrowly missing the middleweight limit of 160 pounds.
The weights were the same at the ceremonial weigh-in held at the Business Design Centre in Islington on Friday evening, with both fighters also set to weigh-in again separately at their respective hotels at 8am BST on Saturday morning.
