Chris Eubank Jnr apologises for 'scumbags' coment

Chris Eubank Jnr has issued an apology after hitting out at 'scumbag' promoters during an extraordinary press conference on Wednesday night.

The 35-year-old had slammed Frank Warren, Matchroom's Eddie Hearn and Wasserman Boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland during a press conference in London ahead of Artur Beterbiev's fight with Dmitry Bivol.

Eubank Jnr will appear on the undercard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 12, when he faces Kamil Szeremeta.

He was questioned about his recent decision to sign for Ben Shalom's BOXXER promotions, promoting Eubank Jnr to round on other promoters.

'Why BOXXER? Because every other promoter out here is a scumbag,' he said.

'He [Frank Warren] sued me for a couple of hundred thousand a few years ago so obviously I'd never go with him. Scumbag.

'Kalle Sauerland, kept me in a terrible contract for several years. Scumbag.

'Eddie Hearn and Frank Smith tried everything they could to make this Connor Benn fight. So yes, scumbags. The only one who isn't is Turki Alalshikh [Saudi Arabia's boxing powerbroker].

'This is a man who isn't trying to take money for fighters, and use lawyers and accountants in slave contracts.'

A visibly furious Warren had interjected during Eubank Jnr's comments, with the Queensbury Promoters chief stating 'Why have we got to listen to this scumbag?

'Fight Hamzah Sheeraz then, scumbag. Why don't you fight certain fighters?'

Warren, who had previously sued Eubank Jnr for a breach of contract, later threatened to take legal action over the boxer's comments.

'The bottom line of it is very simple. He was sued by me for a legal breach of a contract and I was successful in suing him and he paid substantial damages,' Warren said in an interview on talkSPORT.

'Now you know what he can't accept is what's legal and what's not. And as regarding what he's just said just so you know I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. He's gonna get sued again for the comments that he's made publicly.

'He will be sued and he will have a problem over that and anybody else who says it, they can get in that queue.'

Eubank Jnr had also shared a video of his comments on social media, writing 'Just telling it how it is'.

A joint statement was later released by Eubank Jnr and Warren with the boxer apologising for his comments in the press conference.

'Following today's press conference for the historic Riyadh Season on October 12th, I would like to retract my inaccurate statements and offer my apologies to Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn and Kalle Sauerland,' Eubank Jnr said.

'I now wish to focus purely on boxing and preparing for a huge fight in Riyadh next month.'

Warren added: 'I accept Chris' apology and retraction. I too have said things before and apologise to him also if any criticism of him has upset him in the past.

'I look forward to seeing him compete on this huge Riyadh Season card. We look ahead to some potentially massive bouts in the future.'

Hearn also responded to Eubank Jnr's comments, with the boxer having cited his shelved fight with Connor Benn in 2022.

Benn, who is promoted by Hearn, failed a drugs test ahead of the fight preventing the all-British bout from going ahead.

'I think he threw his toys out of the pram because he was on the bottom table,' Hearn told Boxing News.

'It will be dealt with, no comment on that one, we will let that be dealt with. Pretty wild, but sometimes when you say things you have to live by those words.'

Does anyone seriously believe Eubank is sorry for what he said ? Or doesn't believe what he said isn't true ? Cmon.

It's obvious turki pulled rank on Eubank and they all teamed up to slap down the uppity negro "Apologize and retract or you’re off the card, we like our blacks to fight and shut up. You hear me ? We learnt our lesson with Muhammad Ali. That's it's not wise to let you negroes talk too much”

Or bricktop sent his henchmen round to Eubanks Brighton shack, no doubt had him wrapped in a body bag hanging from the ceiling threatening to feed him to the pigs

And the silence fro the boxing community is deafening, the likes Johnny Nelson, Carl Frampton etc have all said "Eubanks got balls and he said what a fighters would like to say" that's pretty much them agreeing with what he said about Frank. Everyone knows Frank is slimy, oily, backstabbing, "I'm gonna sue" kray wannabe

Yes Turki did obviously pull rank, but nothing to do with the “negro know your place” schtik that you’re promoting.
He’s told both of them to play nicely. Eddie didn’t pipe up, so he was left out of it.
Good on Eubank saying it , even though he’s apologised, everyone knows he meant it and it can’t be unsaid.

They are manufacturing the Eubank v Benn fight.

This is staged and for all the talk of Eubank facing Canelo and Sheeraz he will choose Benn. Look how small Conor is standing next to Eubank.
