Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn ‘should be cancelled’ as worrying footage emerges
Scottish boxer Josh Taylor called for Chris Eubank Jr’s fight with Conor Benn to be cancelled after footage of their weight cut emerged. Eubank Jr weighed 0.05lb over the 11st 6lb middleweight limit for their bout and was fined £375,000 as a result.
The 35-year-old shared his brutal weight cut on social media with the caption: “Pain is temporary… Glory is forever.” He stood drenched in sweat before stripping his clothes off and wearing a sauna and sweat suit, prompting concern from his supporters.
