Conor Benn has shared his savage reaction after Chris Eubank Jr missed the weight by 0.05lbs at the official weigh in.

He will now face a £375,000 fine ahead of their fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, tomorrow (26 April).

Sky Sports News reports that Eubank Jr initially missed the middle weight limit of 160lbs by 0.2lbs on his first attempt, before his second and final attempt saw him miss it again by just 0.05lbs.

The fight is said to still be going ahead, although a contractural rehydration clause means that neither of them can weigh more than 170 pounds tomorrow morning.

And in response, Benn has shared a video to X as he laughs to say: "Show me the motherf**king money," while bopping his head with a grin.

Benn comfortably made weight at 3.6lbs under the 160lbs limit.

His rival has already been fined in the build up to their fight, after he slapped him with an egg during a somewhat chaotic press conference in Manchester back in February.

That egg slap landed Eubank Jr with a £100,000 fine.

So this savage response clip from Benn is just a drop in the ocean of the increasing tension between the two British boxers whose rivalry goes back decades into their families.

There's no titles up for grabs tomorrow but it's a major moment in the ongoing Eubank and Benn feud.

The two fighters' dads fought twice in 1990 and 1993 and the sons have gone on to build up a rivalry of their own. But this is the first time they are able to bring it to the ring.

They were supposed to fight back in October 2022 at the O2 Arena.

However, Benn failed two voluntary drug tests, causing the contest to be cancelled with just 48 hours' notice. His licence was then removed by the British Boxing Board of Control and his suspension wasn't lifted until July 2023 in a ruling by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP).

During their chaotic face-off in February, Benn's father Nigel appeared to grab Eubank Jr by the throat following the egg slap.

"Apparently egg contamination was the reason for his two failed drugs tests," Eubnak Jr wrote on X. "So I contaminated him with an egg."

The pair are expected to make their ring walks from 9.45pm UK time tomorrow night as the main event.
