Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith have both been fined unspecified amounts by the British Boxing Board of Control for misconduct over controversial comments made at their pre-fight press conference earlier this year.
Eubank Jr and Smith went head-to-head in a boxing clash at the AO Manchester Arena in January to settle their bitter rivalry which had threatened to spill over during fight week. The pair came face-to-face in an explosive fight week press conference where the pair traded verbal barbs, leaving Sky Sports forced to apologise for a series of "homophobic" comments during the exchanges.
The British Boxing Board of Control issued a statement confirming that the pair would face investigation into the incident with the possibility of disciplinary action being taken. And they have now decided to fine both fighters after concluding that process.
