<\/p>\nEubank Jr, who won their first bout by unanimous decision in April, claimed an ambulance taking him to hospital afterwards was stopped by stooges from promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing team.<\/p>\n
The claim was met with derision by Hearn during a press conference which veered between the tense and the childish ahead of their second showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey did everything they could to try and destroy me in that last fight,\u201d said Eubank Jr.<\/p>\n
\u201cContract breaches, fines, rehydration clauses, a sabotaged weigh-in, biased commentary and refereeing. The list goes on.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn fight night they blocked my tream from coming to the stadium for 30 minutes. Then when I arrived security were in front of my car trying to slow me down and make me late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never heard so much waffle,\u201d snorted Hearn.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s incredible the levels these guys will stoop to,\u201d continued Eubank Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cI finally get into the stadium. I get into my changing room and they are sending idiots to try and disrupt me. I get through that. I go out there and I win the fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, after the fight, due to severe dehydration I am in an ambulance and I have to go to hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was so dehydrated that one of the toenails on my big toe fell off. I\u2019m in this ambulance and these scumbags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m laying there on a gurney, oxygen mask on and they wouldn\u2019t open the gate to let us leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf this had been a serious injury that 20 minutes could have been the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd while this was happening Conor Benn and Eddie Hearn were in here lying to the media that I had a broken jaw. Bull**** artists of the highest order.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn, accompanied by his father Nigel, wore a Manchester City shirt in memory of Ricky Hatton, who was found dead on Sunday aged 46.<\/p>\n
There was also a montage of former world champion Hatton played before the press conference.<\/p>\n
But that was where the common human decency ended and the sniping began with the family feud, which began 35 years ago when fathers Chris Eubank Snr and Nigel Benn fought in two epic encounters, showing no signs of thawing.<\/p>\n
The rematch, billed as \u2018Unfinished Business, was originally due to take place in September but Eubank Jr claimed he would not be ready for that date.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always hard processing a loss,\u201d said Benn. \u201cIt taught me a lot and we are going back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n
\u201cExperience was gained and you are going to get a better version of me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eubank Jr, who won their first bout by unanimous decision in April, claimed an ambulance taking him to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,898,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-28257","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-latest-news-ticker","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
