Chris Eubank Jr-Tommy Langford - 22 Oct

[Batman]

Frank Warrens statement

Due to the fact we are hours away from one of our fighters appearing in a major international event at one of America's biggest football stadiums, further developments will have to wait until Monday when we will be speaking to the BBBC.

Thereafter we will make a formal statement regarding the situation and subsequently regarding the event.

Although we are disappointed by the Eubank statement, we are not surprised, as the public know full well for themselves, they make a habit of talking up fights but not following through.

They are also incredibly unpredictable, unprofessional and very difficult to work with.

We are extremely disappointed for the fans who have booked tickets, coaches and hotels. Actions such as this are totally disrespectful to the sport and the fans.

We feel most for Tommy, who has been waiting patiently for his shot at the Lonsdale belt.

The event will be still take place on 22nd October in Cardiff and the changes that will have to be made because of this will be disclosed when we are able to do so.

So Jr is pleased to have been injured as it protects the challengers for the belt, what an absolute cunt that statement makes him out to be.

has eubank jr been lined up for golovkins next opponent ?

[Batman]

First thing that I thought, especially with the 'sparring against a 14stone opponent'

Still a real cuntish statement though, full of arrogance, self importance and not a single appologie in sight to the people who have paid for tickets and hotels etc

That statement sounds like it was written by Eubank Sr. I have no idea if Langford was any good(likely not) but why take those fights in the first place if that's your attitude at this stage.

I doubt very much Eubank sr can read or write.

True enough, only in sentiment then

So all those people who said "it doesn't matter about the money, he'll make that back", well now it fucking matters!
He has alienated Warren and Hearn, he deserves congrats for that! Where now?
Also a. The statement said a "severe injury" and b. Why the fuck do they have to mention that he was sparring a 14 stone opponent? And furthermore it was a fucking elbow injury, so what has 14 stone got to do with anything?
Fuck 'em! Bunch of clowns.
