The BBBOC has Chris eubank jr. £ 10,000 fined for the use of a sauna to help gain weight for his domestic fight against Conor Benn. Eubank jr. (35-3, 25 COs) placed online material from him using a sauna to cut the weight, which led to the fine.
Chris eubank jr. Fine details
Eubank Jr., 35, will have to pay the fine before giving the green light for his second collision against Conor (23-1, 14 COs) in two months from now on September 20. Given the $ 12 million wallet that eubank jr. Allegedly for his first battle with Benn, 28, and the similar amount for his actions in the second collision, the £ 10,000 is just a drop in the bucket.
Fighters in this era use all kinds of methods to cut weight that would lead to fines if revealed. They also have strategies to put on the weight quickly, which would also get it in hot water if it is revealed.
Eubank jr. Would never have agreed to fight Benn at 160 in the first place, and he should have rejected the idea of a 10-pound rehydration clause.
Both of these not only benefit Benn, but they keep eubank jr. The danger of being injured in the fight by weakening to compete at his physical best. Benn already has the youth benefit on eubank jr. He did not need two weight disabilities above to move the scales in his favor.
Conor Benn Weight Benefit
Benn is the one who wanted to try to test himself against what, all purposes and purposes, is an outdated super middle weight. If Conor wanted to be like his famous father, Nigel, he should have shown some backbone by Eubank Jr. Fighting at his optimal weight of 168 without a disability to give him a great lead. It is cheap the victory that Conor wins.
Eubank jr. Of course, going to do what he can to collect the weight and handle the ridiculous rehydration clause of 10 pounds, but it is stupid of him that he agreed to this. It is pathetic that Benn and his promoters wanted it to give them the chance to win. Benn, of course, is not good enough to eubank jr. At its best, nor the quality fighters at 160 or 154. He is a fighter at the domestic level.
