Chris Eubank Jr was told to "stop it" as he rained punches on cruiserweight title contender Richard Riakporhe after landing a number of damaging shots during a sparring session.
The super-middleweight star is returning to the ring this weekend against Liam Smith after almost a year out of action, and new footage has emerged showing a sparring match he had with cruiserweight Riakporhe. The British pair can be seen exchanging, but it appears that the major damage is being done by Eubank Jr, who lands a series of vicious uppercuts that snap Riakporhe's head back.
And at one point during the clip, Eubank Sr can be heard telling his son to "stop it" as another coach tells him to work the body. The former two-weight world champion has history when it comes to seeing serious injuries in the ring and has previously told his son to slow down during real fights in order to keep his opponent safe, most notably against Nick Blackwell in 2016.
