Chris Eubank Jr. Arthur Abraham weigh-in results

Chris Eubank Jr. Arthur Abraham weigh-in results

Update: Abraham finally makes weight. Weights: Eubank Jr. 167.5, Abraham 168

Super-middleweight rivals Chris Eubank Junior and Arthur Abraham have weighed-in for tomorrow night’s IBO title defence by Eubank Jr. and though both men look to be in fantastic physical condition, challenger Abraham actually failed to make the 168 pound limit.

Abraham was all smiles as he climbed onto the scale, but he tipped in at 12 stone 1LB and 5 oz, a little over 169 pounds. According to IBO rules, Abraham has until later this afternoon (around 4PM UK time) to shed the excess weight and come in at 168. Eubank, looking as stern as ever, tipped in at 11 stone 13LBS and 3 oz.

Chris Eubank on quitting: It’s not in the warrior’s code. You don’t have the right to quit

Chris Eubank on quitting: It's not in the warrior's code. You don't have the right to quit

Former world champ and British superstar Chris Eubank is certainly an interesting person; perplexing even – he always has been. Long retired, the vocal, eccentric guiding force behind his son, Chris Eubank Junior, gave an interview with BBC Radio 5 yesterday.

The main subject was quitting, or not quitting. Eubank, a fighter who certainly went beyond the call when it came to proving his toughness, mentally and physically, during his thrilling ring career, said again that quitting is the ultimate sin. Fighters, Eubank insists, do not have “the right” to quit in any fight; that the referee is the only man who can stop a fight.
