That’s what you have to do to prepare to go to war.“The real weight cut doesn’t come until the week of the fight for most fighters. It is tough, I’m not going to lie.”It’s not fun, it’s not a nice part of the sport having to boil yourself down to a certain weight.”Adding in the fact that I can now not rehydrate fully, I can’t eat and drink as much as I want after the weigh-in, adds another element of discomfort and hardship to what I’m going through.Most read in BoxingJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS“But this is what we sign up for, this is what we do as professional athletes.”As elite-level fighters, you have to go through these trials, these tribulations, and I’ve been doing it my entire career so I have no doubt that the weight will be made.”Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s 30-year blood feud plays out in new big budget video starring KSI ahead of epic fightThe Spurs slugfest will be the biggest fight of both men’s respective careers, although Eubank Jr isn’t thinking about the magnitude of the domestic dust-up, saying: “I’m not focused on the amount of people that will be there.”I’m not focused on the scale of this event, I’m not focused on the hype around this fight. All of that is really irrelevant.”What’s important is the fight, what happens when that bell goes. “Whether there’s 70,000 people there or seven people, my mindset, my game plan, my strategy is going to be exactly the same.“This is the first megafight in boxing history where you have two bad guys. “You have the potential for both fighters in a superfight being booed into the ring.Chris Eubank Jr was hit with a £100,000 fine for slapping Conor Benn with an egg in FebruaryCredit: GETTY”It’s never happened before and it’s probably going to happen on April 26.”The British Boxing Board of Control hit Eubank Jr – the son of former middleweight champ Chris Eubank Sr – with a £100,000 fine for his egg antics.Eubank Jr insisted it was worth every penny but is now looking to contest the severity of the punishment.He said: “We are dealing with the situation. £100,000 for throwing an egg seems a little bit strong, especially looking at what others have been fined for what would seem to be much more serious incidents over the years.Read More on The Sun”I don’t think anyone has gotten anywhere close to a 100k fine, tables be thrown, people getting punched in the face, slapped in the face. “So £100k for an egg, it’s steep and we will deal with the situation.” More

    ‘I was cut out for it’ – Ben Whittaker opens up on fan backlash after freak ending to Liam Cameron bout ahead of rematch

    BEN WHITTAKER insists he was cut out to take the backlash that came his way in the aftermath of his draw with Liam Cameron. The pair look to settle their score on Easter Sunday in Birmingham – six months on from their controversial draw in Saudi Arabia.Liam Cameron and Ben Whittaker went over the top rope in their first fightCredit: GettyWhittaker was unable to continueCredit: ReutersIn Riyadh, the bout prematurely went to the judges scorecards after five rounds when the pair went over the top rope.Injured Whittaker was unable to continue – with many feeling Cameron was on the road to an upset.Whittaker – who divides opinion with his showboating in the ring – was accused of QUITTING by some supporters. But he told Sky Sports: “If the stick hits you, you are not cut out for it. Luckily, I was cut out for it.READ MORE IN BOXING”People talk about me because I am that guy, people say a lot of things about me because I am that guy.”I am supposed to be that guy so they’re talking for a reason.”Cameron, 34, claimed Whittaker, 27, deliberately pulled himself over the top rope. And Whittaker sarcastically added: “People saw what they saw, some people believe that happened and some people didn’t.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”But all I know is he ended up on top of me and I got injured. [Cameron] is very calculated about it, it’s very nice, but at the end of the day it’s a good job I’ve been doing gymnastics this time so if it does happen I can land on my feet.”The usually-outspoken Whittaker went radio silent after the controversial draw – later switching trainers to Andy Lee in Ireland.
