CHRIS EUBANK JR leaked private messages with Liam Smith as the rivals traded insults ahead of their pay-per-view fight.
Eubank returns in a middleweight Sky Box Office bout against Smith next Saturday in Manchester.
And the war of words between the pair of ex-sparring partners has not stopped since the fight was announced.
Eubank, 33, mocked Smith, 34, by claiming he is getting “cooked” in the ring, like the steak he was preparing to eat.
Former light-middleweight world champion Smith responded to the dig via direct message on Instagram.
He told Eubank: “Boss BANTZ, crazy div.”

Eubank responded: “Medium or well done?”
