Legal Proceedings Commenced
Frank Warren has initiated legal action against Chris Eubank Jr following the boxer's controversial outburst during a press conference.
The Queensberry promoter filed the case on December 23, as reported by The Athletic, listing it under "Media and Communication: Defamation – libel and slander."
Background of the Incident
During a press conference in Saudi Arabia to promote a fight between Eubank Jr and Poland's Kamil Szeremeta, Eubank Jr launched a personal attack on Warren, Eddie Hearn, Frank Smith, and Kalle Sauerland.
This incident occurred as Eubank Jr was preparing for his first fight in over a year and his debut under the Boxxer promotional stable led by Ben Shalom.
Reactions and Previous History
While Eubank Jr later retracted his statements and issued an apology to Warren, the promoter deemed the apology insufficient and has now taken legal action.
This is not the first legal dispute between Warren and Eubank Jr, as a previous breach of contract case in 2016 resulted in Eubank Jr paying substantial damages to Warren.
Warren has reaffirmed his stance on pursuing legal action against Eubank Jr for his public comments, stating that anyone else making similar remarks will face the same consequences.
No Comment from Eubank Jr
Chris Eubank Jr has chosen not to respond to the latest developments regarding the legal proceedings initiated by Frank Warren.
