British Boxing Board Investigates Chris Eubank Jr Weight-Cut Breach After Conor Benn Win

Chris Eubank Jr's unanimous decision win over Conor Benn in April is currently under investigation due to allegations he used a sauna to cut weight, which is prohibited by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC). Despite narrowly missing the weight limit and facing a £375,000 fine, Eubank Jr was allowed to fight after meeting the rehydration clause, though he was hospitalized post-fight as a precaution. The BBBofC has summoned Eubank Jr to a hearing to clarify the circumstances, with potential disciplinary actions yet to be determined. Eubank Jr's cousin, Harlem Eubank, has expressed support, stating Chris deserves a fight with Canelo Alvarez, though the immediate focus may include a rematch with Benn, who holds a rematch clause. Meanwhile, former boxer Ricky Hatton predicts that Eubank Jr's age, accumulated wear, and the grueling weight cut will disadvantage him in any rematch, favoring the younger Benn and possibly setting up a trilogy. The situation remains fluid as both the investigation and fight negotiations continue.
