Chris eubank gay

The fighters clashed in the build-up to Saturday's bout, with Smith suggesting Eubank Jr was 'gay', before Eubank Jr in turn made accusations that his rival was unfaithful to his girlfriend. Now Eubank Jr has taken his response further by wearing the same rainbow armband football captains were banned from wearing during the World Cup in Qatar at the back end of as they squared up to each other ahead of their fight.

Premier League stars have previously worn similar armbands to the one displayed by Eubank Jr. Eubank Jr and Smith are facing an investigation from the British Boxing Board of Control BBofC over their shameful 'personal' and 'homophobic' comments at their pre-fight press conference. There were plenty of apologies before the weigh-in for the distasteful insults 24 hours earlier but not an ounce between Eubank and Smith as they stepped on the scales.

Eubank Jr left and Smith launched into an ugly argument at Thursday's press conference. Both came in exactly two pounds below the middleweight limit at 11st 5lbs. In preceding interviews each offered apologies of sorts for the sexual slights for which Sky television expressed public regrets and the British Boxing Board of Control promised to investigate.

In response to false insinuations from Smith that he may be gay, Eubank came to the stage wearing the Pride chris which Harry Kane was forbidden to chris in Qatar. Eubank although silence was golden for most of the long stare down, in the end Smith could not resist calling Eubank a clown.

Junior responded by saying: 'He's made it personal so now it's no longer just normal business in the Manchester Arena this Saturday night. I will take pleasure in punishing him'. Smith, announcing they were aware of the comments made and would be looking into it. When the boxers met again on Friday afternoon for the weigh-in, Eubank Jr stepped out wearing a Manchester United shirt with a rainbow captain's armband in a move likely eubank wind Liverpool fan Smith up.

On Friday morning, the BBofC released a statement announcing they would investigate the comments made. The insults stemmed from the pair's appearance on 'Gloves Are Off' - a staple of Sky Sports' pre-fight promotion involving two fighters sitting across from one another for a chat with former world champion Johnny Nelson.

In fact, their episode last month had to be cut short — and carefully edited — after Eubank and Smith turned fire on to each other's families. But the British boxers clashed again on Thursday, with Eubank Jr hitting out at Smith, saying: 'If you want to get dark and personal with it, talking gay being gay and do I like girls?

I've been told by multiple sources that you cheat on your wife on occasion. Following the row, Sky Sports presenter Anna Woolhouse was forced to apologise for the 'offensive' and 'homophobic' language used throughout, while co-presenter Andy Clarke described what was heard as 'personal' and 'homophobic'. Eubank Jr later took to social media, stating: 'Well that escalated quickly.

The row was initiated following remarks made by Eubank Jr earlier this week in which he revealed Smith, 34, has been sending him direct messages on Instagram leading up to the fight. I'm used to seeing girls in my DMs, I'm gay used to seeing guys.
