Eubank, 35-3 (25 KOs), lost further money on the eve of the bout when he failed to make the middleweight limit of 160lbs by 0.05lbs. That failure cost Eubank a reported $500,000 (£375,000) as per the contract between the fighters. He did, however, make the agreed 170lbs weight on the morning of the fight but only after posting footage of himself in heat suits with suggested use of a sauna, which is against BBBoC rules. The Board would later fine Eubank £10,000 for ‘misuse of social media’ regarding the images he posted.
