Chris Eubank Jr faces BBBofC investigation after Conor Benn victory

Chris Eubank Jr. is under investigation by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) following his unanimous decision victory over Conor Benn, due to his use of radical weight-cutting methods such as a heat suit and sauna, which are prohibited under BBBofC regulations. Eubank Jr. missed the 160lbs weight limit by a small margin at the official weigh-in, resulting in a hefty fine, though he managed to make the fight-day weight. BBBofC chief Robert Smith noted that Eubank Jr.'s late arrival at the weigh-in contributed to the issue, suggesting he could have made weight on time otherwise. Despite concerns, Smith indicated that Eubank Jr.'s weight loss trajectory was consistent with previous fights and the matter remains under review. Eubank Jr.'s promoter, Ben Shalom, dismissed rumors of a severe jaw injury after the fight, confirming Eubank Jr. was cleared in hospital checks. A rematch clause is in place, with discussions ongoing about the appropriate weight class for a potential second fight.
