CHRIS EUBANK JR has shown off his brutal weight cut ahead of rematching Conor Benn – but it could land him in hot water AGAIN.
Eubank was fined £375,000 in April for missing the 160lb middleweight limit by an agonising 0.05lb – the equivalent of a single battery.
But he was investigated and later fined £10,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control for posting videos online appearing to use an infrared sauna blanket and sweat suit.
Saunas are a prohibited weight-cutting method in BBBoC rules.
Ahead of Saturday’s rematch – live on DAZN PPV – Eubank successfully made the weight scaling 159.1lb.
But he faces another BBBoC investigation after once again showing off what appears to be the use of another portable sauna blanket and sweat suit.
In the videos, Eubank winces as he sits in what looks to be a sauna blanket while using a bike machine to shed off the lbs in a sweat suit.
The 36-year-old looked gaunt as he flexed his shredded abs and arms to the camera.
He posted: “Ain’t no way I’m missing weight this time.”
Eubank was called into a hearing after his victory over Benn – where he was fined for “misuse of social media”.

In a statement to BBC Sport, the Board said: “The Southern Area Council were satisfied that Mr. Eubank did in fact not use rapid weight loss methods in close proximity to his contest [with Benn].”
In regards to the online posts, the Board said: “The social media comments attributed to Mr. Eubank were indeed posted by him and as such were in breach of Regulation 25 and the Board’s social media guidelines.”
Regulation 25 relates to “any allegation of misconduct” and “conduct detrimental to the interests of boxing or the public interest”.
SunSport has reached out to the BBBoC for comment on Eubank’s new weight-cutting video.
Benn – a natural 147lb welterweight – was only 156lb earlier in the year.
But he actually came in HEAVIER than Eubank – tipping the scales at a career-biggest 159.4lb.
The work is not done yet, though, with both men restricted to a 10lb rehydration clause for tomorrow’s additional weigh in.
It means if either are over the 170lb cap, they will also face a fine – believed to be £100,000 per lb over.
Eubank opened up on the brutal weight cut that lay ahead of him in the days leading up to the weigh-in.
He said: “The barbaric side of the weight cut comes 24-36 hours before the weigh-in — that’s when the pain comes.
“This is the fight game, this is not nice. People are trying to strip you of your health.
“Niceties don’t come into my mind. I don’t think about those types of things in this sport.
“It doesn’t sadden me because I know what we have to do. This is a blood sport so can you really be surprised when people are doing all these underhanded things?
“It comes with the territory. If you’re going to be in a bloodsport, be prepared to deal with savages.”
