Eubank Jr. Battles Brutal 159.1lb Weight Cut Ahead of Benn Clash in Shocking Video
Chris Eubank Jr. is back in the hot seat, risking another British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) fine as he endures a 159.1lb weight cut ahead of his potential rematch with Conor Benn.
Just months after being sanctioned for previous videos, the former world title challenger has doubled down on documenting the methods on social media, pushing his body to the limit.
The Wrath of the BBBofC
The BBBofC has a strict ban on sauna use for weight cutting, and the commission previously fined Eubank Jr. for “misuse of social media” after his prior videos went public. That fine became a mandatory condition for him even to be licensed for the Benn rematch. Despite the explicit rules and immense pressure, Eubank refuses to hide the agonizing reality of his preparation.
Eubank’s latest clips show the 159.1lb contender straining and sweating in a sauna-like sweat suit and cycling relentlessly. The footage offers fans and analysts an unvarnished look at the final, desperate hours of shedding pounds. The caption accompanying the videos is defiant: “Ain’t no way I’m missing weight this time.”

Brutal 159.1lb Grind — At What Cost?
The pressure is immense, fueled by Eubank’s costly past errors:
Contractual Disaster: Missing weight by a fraction of a pound in the first bout cost him a $500,000 fine, per fight contract stipulations.
BBBofC Violation: His prior social media activity earned him an official fine and a compliance condition for future licensing.
Eubank Jr.’s public display confirms his singular determination: make the scales right, keep the multi-million-dollar Benn showdown on track, and damn the consequences from the regulatory body.
Eubank has shown his focus is absolute to hit a lower target than Benn on the scales, but he’s once again flirting with the very authority that holds the key to his boxing future.
