I'M IN PAIN

Eubank's family trials dwarf weight battle

- CHRIS MCKENNA

CHRIS EUBANK JR insists the pain of making weight pales into insignificance in comparison to the death of his brother and the snub from his father.

The British fighter will boil down to the middleweight limit of 11st 6lb today ahead of his clash with bitter rival Conor Benn for their family grudge match to-morrow night.

Eubank Jr, 35, was goaded by Benn about being a “fat boy” and was told to go “get the weight off” in a degrading slur at a heated press conference last night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But the Brighton boxer dismissed the notion of it being traumatic to make the weight in comparison to bigger problems in his life.
