Chris Eubank Jr Shares Footage Of His ‘Ambulance Being Blocked’ After Conor Benn Fight

Chris Eubank Jr. is less than two weeks away from his rematch from Conor Benn.

The pair do battle once again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday 15 November, just over six months on from their first encounter in April.

It was Eubank who was victorious on that occasion, claiming a unanimous decision win after a back and forth 12-round clash, but he then had to spend a sustained period in hospital following the bout after revealing he was suffering from ‘severe dehydration.’

At the launch press conference of the upcoming rematch, Eubank and promoter Eddie Hearn became involved in a war of words over how things unfolded on that night in April, and the Brighton man has now released footage from the evening on social media.

“This is footage of my ambulance being blocked from leaving Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26th & my team shouting at security to open the gate, so we can get to hospital. At this point I’ve been in the back of that ambulance for over 20 minutes.

“Eddie Hearn told everyone I lied about this but the truth is, it happened & we have to make sure situations like this don’t ever happen again in our sport.

“Boxing is dangerous enough as it is, we cannot then have fighters being stopped from getting medical attention after they fight.”

The accusation from Eubank that Hearn was involved in the delay – which many in the sport have branded inappropriate and false – was swiftly and strongly denied by the promoter, who has threatened legal action over the matter, only adding to the bitter rivalry between the two camps ahead of the Eubank and Benn rematch later this month.
