Chris Eubank Jr will appear before the British Boxing Board of Control in July to answer questions about his use of a sauna before his fight with Conor Benn.<\/b><\/p>\n
But the BBBofC have refused to “speculate” what punishment the Briton might face if he is found to have broken their rules.<\/p>\n
Eubank, 35, beat Benn on points<\/a> in their grudge match in April and the build-up was dominated by the weight discrepancy and rehydration clause.<\/p>\n Eubank missed weight and was fined \u00a3375,000<\/a>, but was within the 10lb rehydration limit on the morning of the fight.<\/p>\n General secretary Robert Smith said the board had been made aware of the possibility Eubank used a sauna for his weight cut.<\/p>\n “We need to establish exactly what the situation is. I want to find out the dates when it was all done,” Smith told BBC Sport. <\/p>\n “He’s been called in by the Southern Arena Council. He will come in at the beginning of July and tell them what the truth is and then they’ll make a decision.”<\/p>\n Saunas are banned by the BBBofC and last Saturday Adam Azim’s opponent Eliot Chavez was pulled from the fight after he used a sauna to make weight.<\/p>\n Eubank posted several videos of what appeared a gruelling weight cut to middleweight (11st 6lb).<\/p>\n “Let’s just see what the man has to say. There will be doctors there etc and the council will consider it and decide what action they need to take,” Smith said. <\/p>\n With the BBBofC facing questions about their sanctioning of the fight and Eubank alleging his weight cut was “derailed”<\/a> deliberately, Smith – speaking to Boxing News, external<\/span><\/a> – suggested Eubank “boxed as though he had no problems”. <\/p>\n “He was as strong in the last round as he was in the first round,” Smith said.<\/p>\n “The medical documentation we [received] since the contest says he was fine.”<\/p>\n Eubank spent two days in hospital<\/a> after his fight with Benn.<\/p>\n The Englishman racked up \u00a3475,000 worth of penalties before his fight with Benn, with the board fining him \u00a3100,000 for slapping Benn with an egg<\/a>.<\/p>\n The weight fine went straight to Benn, as stipulated in their fight contract.<\/p>\n The fight took place 35 years after their fathers, Chris Eubank Snr and Nigel Benn, fought in the 1990s.<\/p>\n BBC Sport has contacted Chris Eubank Jr for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
