He’s received a huge fine.

Chris Eubank Jr has missed the weight ahead of his grudge match against Conor Benn tomorrow night.

The 35-year-old weighed in 0.2lb over the 11st6lb limit on his first attempt at weighing in before failing again the second time.

The weigh-in took place at a London hotel this afternoon.

Eubank is set to be fined £375,000 for missing weight.

Later today there will be a ceremonial weigh-in in Islington.

The fight is still set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur stadium tomorrow night.

Earlier today, Chris Eubank took to X to write: “People constantly talking about my weight. The truth is a weight cut is nothing compared to the hardships that life can throw at you. If you can make it through those things you can make it through anything.”
