Chris Eubank Jr has trolled Conor Benn by indulging in a birthday cake with the phrase "60 per cent" written on it after insisting that is all he'll need to beat his rival.
British boxing's most notorious feud between the Eubanks and the Benns will reignite on October 8 at The O2 arena when the two legends' sons meet in a grudge fight that is being marketed as the third Eubank vs Benn bout. In order to make weight, the Brighton native will need to get down to 157lb; a career-low, while his opponent jumps up 10lb, or essentially two weight classes.
And the mind games have already begun, with Eubank Jr declaring that he will only be able to fight at 60 per cent of his capacity due to the cut and subsequent rehydration clause. He has supplemented that idea by publicly engaging in a seemingly poor diet that includes KFC chicken and chocolate birthday cake.
