Eubank Jr. had to overcome some roughhouse techniques throughout the 12-round distance. He was therefore forced to literally dig his teeth in it.
He stated, "We knew that he was going dirty, and we knew he would try everything he could in order to fight me."
"Whether it was within or outside the boxing rules. We dealt with it and I'm not complaining.
"I was upset that the referee did not take at least one point during the fight for the number of headlocks, headsbutts, and all the other stuff that was going on.
"He was pushing his hands up against my face several times. At one point, I had to bite him.
"I have never bit anyone in the ring before. I bit him. He wrapped his arm around me and squeezed my neck. His glove was very close to my mouth.
"So, I gave it a bit as hard as possible. "Look, if he wants to fight dirty, then I'm going fight dirty." It is what it was."
