They initially met on April 26 in a brutal clash that saw both men leave everything in the ring.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Eubank Jr got his hand raised with a unanimous decision win<\/a> before being put in an ambulance to receive medical treatment<\/a> for severe dehydration.<\/p>\n

‘Next Gen’ has now uploaded an image to social media from that night that shows his swollen head and bloodied face. <\/p>\n

He wrote: “I saw comments yesterday saying I\u2019m playing the victim & looking for sympathy after showing what happened to my ambulance in April. <\/p>\n

“If I cared about people\u2019s sympathy, I would\u2019ve posted this picture a long time ago.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m shining a light on the situation to make sure that if I end up looking like this again on Nov 15, after another dog fight, that I\u2019m simply taken to hospital as quickly as possible\u2026 that is all.”<\/p>\n

What happened with Chris Eubank Jr’s ambulance?<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr has accused organisers of the event and Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn<\/a>, of delaying his ambulance from leaving the stadium post-fight.<\/p>\n

He voiced his frustrations as he made the claims<\/a> at the launch press conference for his rematch with Benn in September.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr stated: “After the fight, due to severe dehydration, I’m put in an ambulance and I have to go to hospital. <\/p>\n

“I was so dehydrated, one of the toenails on my big toe fell off.<\/p>\n

“I’m in the ambulance, and these scumbags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for 20 mins.<\/p>\n

“We were locked in for 20 minutes. I’m lying there in a gurney with an oxygen mask on, and the car cannot move because they won’t open the gates to let us leave.<\/p>\n

“If this was a serious injury I’d sustained… that 20 minutes could have been the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n

“While this was happening, Eddie Hearn and Conor Benn<\/a> were talking to the media, lying about me having a broken jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

His statement has since been met with threats of legal action<\/a> from both Hearn and the British Boxing Board of Control chief Robert Smith.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr is, however, showing no signs of backing down, as he continues to fire shots on social media.<\/p>\n
