Chris Eubank Jr has been fined \u00a310,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control over the “misuse of social media” in the build-up to his fight with Conor Benn.<\/b><\/p>\n

Benn was beaten by Eubank Jr in their grudge match in April<\/a> and much of the fight week build-up was dominated by weight cut and rehydration clauses.<\/p>\n

Eubank, 35, missed weight, incurring a \u00a3375,000 fine<\/a>, but was then under the rehydration limit on the day of the fight.<\/p>\n

The board called Eubank to a hearing<\/a> at the Southern Area Council after the Englishman posted several videos of his weight cutting process, which implied the use of a sauna.<\/p>\n

The board’s statement, released on the ‘notices’ section of their website, external<\/a> last Friday, did not mention the use of a sauna, the evidence they heard, how their decision was reached or what the misuse of social media related to.<\/p>\n

It also stated a “severe reprimand” had been placed on Eubank’s file after he was late to the official weigh-in in fight week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Eubank Jr has been fined \u00a310,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control over the “misuse of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-251529","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114824899979967599","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
