- Eubank Jr announced he is expecting twin boys this week, and he says his relationship with his father is improving but still has “holes and cracks,” with Chris Eubank Sr expected to support him again.
- Trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre is assisting Eubank Jr for the rematch, while Conor Benn says he will be less emotional and more disciplined than in the first fight.
- Background friction persists over Eubank’s claim of an ambulance delay after April’s bout, with threats of legal action reported, and the undercard includes Jack Catterall vs Ekow Essuman and Adam Azim vs Kurt Scoby.
