Pre-fight build-up was clouded by controversy after Next Gen failed to make the 160lbs weight limit at the official weigh-in.

The 35-year-old managed to achieve the weight but not before before having to forfeit £375,000 of his paycheck for his original failure to comply with the agreed restrictions.

Eubank Jr shared his radical weight cutting programme ahead of the fight, including a heat suit and sauna.

However BBBofC chief Robert Smith has suggested those weight cutting practices are prohibited.
