Chris Eubank Jr. Takes Jab At Eddie Hearn & Frank Warren Amongst Other Promoters In Angry Press Conference
Chris Eubank Jr. had plenty to say on Thursday at a press conference in London, as the Brit attacked some of the biggest promoters in boxing.
Chris Eubank Jr. Launches Angry Attack
35-year-old Chris Eubank Jr. is set to take on Kamil Szeremeta in October this year and on Thursday afternoon the pair, amongst others, took part in a presser in London.
Although he was there to preview a bout against Szeremeta, Eubank Jr. went off script at the conference, firing shots at some of boxingâs biggest promoters.
When asked why he chose Boxxer as a promotor rather than the likes of Eddie Hearn or Frank Warren, Eubank launched a pretty harsh attack on some of the biggest names.
âWhy Boxxer? Because every other promoter out here is a scumbag,âÂ

âYou know, youâve got Frank Warren behind me whoâs been lying and cheating his way through boxing for the last couple decades. Sued me for a couple hundred thousand a few years ago so I was never go with him.â
Eubank went on to name Kalle Sauerland who had him âlocked upâ in a terrible contract, before naming Eddie Hearn and Frank Smith as other âscumbagsâ in the game.
There was praise from Eubank for one promoter tho, with the Riyadh Season promoter supposedly the only one who doesnât try to rob fighters and keeps it solely about boxing.
âThe only promoter that I know for sure isnât a scumbag is his excellency, Turki Alalshikh,â Eubank said. âThis is a man who isnât trying to take money from fighters, he isnât trying to use lawyers. Heâs a man of God, heâs a man of religion.
âHe just wants to put the best fights on and pay the fighters what theyâre worth and heâs the first promoter in the history of boxing to be like this. And Ben Shalom is a pretty cool guy, too.â
Eubank certainly upset a few big names in the room with his rant on Thursday night and it would bee surprising if this was the end of the spat between him and Frank Warren.
