Chris Eubank Jr. is set to wear a custom-made jacket featuring the BLOOD of one of his previous opponents for the press conference against Conor Benn.

Eubank Jr. and Benn came face-to-face at Tuesday's Grand Arrivals before going through their paces in yesterday's Media Workout.

They renew hostilities when they go head-to-head in tonight's final press conference ahead of Saturday's blockbuster clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And Eubank Jr. plans to make a bold statement as he's to wear a custom-made jacket stitched with the ACTUAL blood of former opponent Liam Smith, who is fighting Aaron McKenna on the undercard.

He stopped Smith in the 10th round of their rematch back in September 2023, having suffered a defeat to the Liverpool fighter in their first meeting.

According to The Daily Mail, the jacket has taken six months to create, and features panels made from the blood-stained ring canvas used during Eubank Jr.'s second fight against Smith.

The front of the jacket has a Union Jack patch, with the date of their rematch '02.09.2023' printed on the other side.

His surname is printed in block capitals across the jacket, flanked by the bold vertical text 'CHAMPION' running down one sleeve.

On the back, the oversized initials 'NG' - standing for 'Next Gen', which is his nickname.

The letters feature dark bloodstains from his second fight against Smith, with 'It's In Your Blood' emblazoned above his 'Next Gen' moniker.

The jacket sends a clear message to both Benn and former foe Smith.

After being presented with the custom-made jacket by 1909, Eubank Jr. said: "This is real blood? That's sick. I'm a big jacket guy - and that is a sexy jacket."

The creative director of the jacket, Myles Jordan, added: "This jacket is the essence of what we're trying to do. Luxury streetwear rooted in boxing. The materials we use are just as important as the design itself - and this piece tells a story, in every thread, in every stain."
