- The update comes weeks after Benn outpointed him at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, scoring two knockdowns in the final round as Eubank Jr’s output slumped.
- Promoter Ben Shalom described Eubank Jr as “a shell of himself,” estimated he threw about 30% of his usual punches, and called for rehydration clauses to be banned.
