Promoter Frank Warren is among the many who are outraged with the recent comments being made by Chris Eubank Jr. and his father/manager Chris Eubank Sr.
Eubank Jr. (23-1, 18KOs) created a firestorm after making statements on the social networks, which were directed at IBF welterweight champion Kell 'Special K' Brook (36-1, 25KOs) and IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs).
This past Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, Golovkin picked up a fifth round stoppage over Brook, who moved up by thirteen pounds to face Golovkin at the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds.
Brook did very well in the fight, but suffered a fractured eye socket in the second round and the injury grew worse as the fight continued. His trainer Dominic Ingle unexpectedly threw in the towel in the fifth after his fighter began to experience issues with his vision.
After the fight was over, Eubank Jr. lashed out at Golovkin on the social networks.
"Golovkin, if you want a fight with a real British middleweight... come get some. My corner don't own towels," Eubank stated.
Warren has had his share of dealings with the Eubanks. He recently won a purse bid, and stages a show on October 22nd in Cardiff where Eubank Jr. will defend his British middleweight title against Tommy Langford, who Warren promotes.
The veteran promoter says Eubank Sr. is living off his son and doing everything possible to prevent Jr. from losing.
"Old Chris is an imbecile and his son is complicit in allowing all the nonsense. They keep talking about how they want to fight the likes of Golovkin but then back out. They have no real options because Senior is terrified his son will get beat and the gravy train will stop. When it comes to big fights all they do is talk. They never sign the contract," Warren told Daily Mail.
