Chris Eubank Jr has been fined £10,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control over the “misuse of social media” in the build-up to his fight with Conor Benn.

Benn was beaten by Eubank Jr in their grudge match in April and much of the fight week build-up was dominated by weight cut and rehydration clauses.

Eubank, 35, missed weight, incurring a £375,000 fine, but was then under the rehydration limit on the day of the fight.

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

The board’s statement, released on the ‘notices’ section of their website, external 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.

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.
