In the build-up to the second leg between the two at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November, Eubank Jr made a series of comments about Smith, BBBoC and Eddie Hearn from Matchroom, which he has now retracted.
In a statement on social media, Eubank Jr said: “In a press conference held on September 17, 2025 to publicize the current fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn, I made a statement about Mr. Smith and the British Boxing Board Limited (the “Board”), including Mr. Smith in the back pockets of the Matchroom and Mr. Eddie put me towards his pockets.
“I accept that these statements are false and without any basis. I agree that neither Mr Smith nor the Board is corrupt and fully retract my statements.
