Boxing fans think Chris Eubank Jr. has an 'excuse' lined up after seeing the state of his feet after training for his fight against Conor Benn.

The blockbuster all-British showdown between Eubank Jr. and Benn is just a few weeks away.

They settle their feud at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having been embroiled in a war of words ahead of their clash.

During their media tour, Eubank Jr. smashed an egg in Benn's face, prompting wild scenes.

Both fighters are in training camp ahead of their April 26 fight, with Eubank Jr. taking to social media to share his preparations.

In doing so, he revealed the state of his feet in an eye-opening social media post.

He showed off the array of blisters on his feet, accompanied with the caption: "Boxing is as easy as it looks I promise. 6am run tomorrow is going to be so much fun... can’t wait."

One Instagram user wrote: "No excuses my man."

A second said: "Heres your second excuse....the rehydration clause that you signed and now blisters."

A third added: "Excuses coming in!"

A fourth commented: "here come the excuses."

Despite the antics in the build-up, Eubank Jr. insists he is not trying to sell the fight.

"I'm not even trying to build the fight up. It’s not about selling the fight; the fight’s already been sold," he told Ariel Helwani. "I was doing things and saying things that I just believed were right and had to be said, had to be exposed. That was just me."

Eubank Jr. vs. Benn had originally been scheduled for October 2022 before the bout was cancelled when Benn failed two drug tests.

Eubank Jr. hasn't fought since his stoppage victory over Kamil Szeremeta last October, while Benn has been out of action since February 2024.
