CHRIS EUBANK JR trolling Conor Benn following his father's request to withdraw from the fight over safety concerns.
The Brits will be battling it out at the O2 Arena on October 8.
Conor Benn was trolled by Chris Eubank Jr during Conor Benn's birthday dinner
Benn also made fun of his opponent's weight issues
The pair agreed to fight at 157 lbs. Benn, 25 must gain 10 lbs more.
Eubank, 33 years old, fights at 160lbs but has previously fought at 168lbs. So, losing weight is a possibility for the boxer.
Eubank stated that he won't be able fight at 60 percent due to the cut-and-rehydration clause, which restricts Eubank's weight one day after his weigh in.
He didn't care about his diet as he enjoyed Sunday's birthday dinner. Instead, he took the time to harass his opponent via Instagram.
The boxer was seen eating his birthday cake, which was served on a plate with the words "60%".
Eubank then took a large bite of his sticky-toffee pudding and icecream dessert. The caption read: "Just couldn't help myself."
This comes just one week after Benn's father had urged him to not fight him.
Eubank Sr is worried about his son's need to boil and dehydrate in order to fight. He is also afraid of losing another child after Sebastian's sudden death at 29 from a heart attack.
Eubank Sr. said that "this fight should not be permitted to happen, because it is dangerous."
"I have given my opinion and will continue to give it, because I know how dangerous weight loss is.
"I've already lost one son and I don't think I can lose another.
"I spoke to Conor Benn, who I consider a great fighter and a king. He told me that he would fight at 160lb.
"So, who made this dangerous decision to limit my child?"
Eubank Jr. confirmed that the fight would go ahead, despite cheating on his diet.
