Chris Eubank Jr. has issued a public statement after boxing promoter Frank Warren announced plans to sue him over comments made during a press conference in Saudi Arabia.
At the press conference ahead of his fight against Kamil Szeremeta next month, Eubank Jr. made a series of explosive allegations against Warren and fellow promoter Eddie Hearn. Warren, visibly upset, responded in real-time and later spoke to talkSPORT, confirming he would take legal action against Eubank Jr.
“I’m going to keep it short and sweet—he’s going to get sued for the comments he made publicly,” Warren declared. “He will have legal problems over that. We will address this appropriately.”
Following the public fallout, Eubank Jr. and Warren issued a joint statement. In his message, Eubank Jr. said, “After today’s press conference for the historic Riyadh Season event on October 12, I retract my inaccurate statements and apologize to Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn, and Kalle Sutherland. I now wish to focus solely on my boxing and preparing for my upcoming fight in Riyadh.”
Warren accepted the apology and retraction, stating, “I appreciate Chris’s statement. I have also said things before and apologize if any criticism has upset him. I look forward to seeing him compete in the Riyadh Season card, where we anticipate some significant bouts ahead.”
Eubank Jr. is set to face Szeremeta on October 12, marking his return to the ring after more than a year since his victory over Liam Smith via technical knockout in September 2023.
