He called Eubanks manager (the big guy who didn’t let him in) “rubber lips”. I genuinely hate Saunders. Nasty piece of work and made to look a tit when turned away.

WBO was a Mickey Mouse belt before Nigel Benn came along

CEJ under investigation of breaking weight cutting rules after video footage merged of him using a body sauna
"The BBBofC rules indicate that use of a sauna and heat suit are strictly prohibited."

Which is laughable as they sanctioned the fight didn’t they?
I feel sorry for Chris as it appears he’s a clean fighter.

They sanctioned the fight, but that doesn't stop someone from breaking the rules before a fight

True, my point which I made badly was how did they expect the poor bugger to lose the weight ? Black magic?

Chris agreed to the weight, so it's not the BBBoFC's concern. They just expect fighters to play by the rules
All the while they have pre-fight weight-ins they know this practice goes on. They’re supposed to oversee the welfare on boxers so it should be their concern.

Totally agree Ian - sadly I think we both know there will be at least one more fight because the money on offer will be too huge. I hope Chris Jnr makes it out the other side of that successfully, he always seems to have the weight of the world on his shoulders when interviewed and he looks overdue a quiet, recuperative life away from the limelight and away from any pressures

Absolutely,;but that doesn't mean they have a person monitoring the fighters 24/7, the fighters have a set of rules to follow and if they are found to have broken a rule then it's down to the governing body to impose a sanction
I agree they can’t monitor fighters 24/7 but a rule which is proving to be regularly broken and seems unworkable needs revising.

Absolutely and I agree, I suppose the issue is that how can they rework a rule that's in place for the safety of a fighter ?
I have read something about “walking weight” and fighters being monitored during camp. Another option is urine SG test to see how dehydrated they are…outside the normal range for this and you fail.

I'm not so sure, Senior, after his WWE entrance, is a big factor in this, Ben Shalom has allegedly got one foot out of the door at Sky due to his 'social life', maybe Eubank Jnr having described almost every other promoter in the UK as a 'scumbag' will hang up his gloves and become a 21st century 'Mickey Duff' but with morals?
There will possibly be an opening at Sky in the near future if Ben doesn't mend his ways
, and after all the Kinahan stuff with MTK they'd welcome an almost squeaky clean person to work with.Home and Away

Very good podcast with the brilliant Steven Bartlett.
Cracking insight and review of the epic fight with the Drugs Cheat.

Been has been very active on social media, buying a half a million Rolls Royce, swanning around in NYC wearing bling and meeting fans, F1 grid stuff in Miami. Anyone would think he won the fight.
