Eubank Jr put out videos of his brutal weight cut on social media yesterday, but after coming in 0.05lbs over the middleweight limit, he received no sympathy from Benn.

Here is the story of how the family feud has been reignited in recent years…

Eubank Jr was reunited with his former opponent Nick Blackwell at yesterday’s weigh-in.

The two fought in 2016, with Eubank Jr prevailing by knockout before Blackwell was placed into a medically-induced coma.

Thankfully, Blackwell has made a recovery, and it was a touching moment to see him and Eubank Jr together yesterday.

A number of stars are coming out to watch the domestic dust-up tonight including Maya Jama, Idris Elba and even Ollie Watkins. He’s playing an FA Cup semi-final in half an hour, but then looks set to hot-foot it from Wembley!

A fresh row broke out between the two camps yesterday as they argued over the gloves that will be worn tonight.

Let’s hope that’s all sorted now.

Chris Eubank Jr missed weight by 0.05lbs yesterday, and will now pay a $500,000 (£375,000) fine.

However, he did meet the rehydration clause this morning, avoiding another expensive financial punishment.
