Chris Eubank Jr. might be best known for his slick uppercuts and icy stare-downs, but a rumour away from the ring stirred up the most noise before his last fight.
His opponent, Conor Benn, made headlines claiming that Eubank Jr. owed football superstar Neymar £4 million (approx. $5 million) from their high-stakes poker sessions, and that was the reason he was looking to settle the score against his arch-rival. Not exactly your average pre-fight trash talk.
After defeating Benn via a unanimous decision in an instant classic, Eubank Jr. is now enjoying some free time at PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo and speaking exclusively to PokerNews Eubank Jr., shed some light on his alleged poker debts.
