Eddie Hearn blames Chris Eubank Jr.'s weight miss on his team of 'NextGen'

Chris Eubank Jr. missed weight by 0.05 pounds ahead of his fight against Conor Benn. This is the first time in Eubank Jr.'s career that he has missed weight. According to British sports promoter Eddie Hearn, the main reason for this weight miss is due to the team of 'NextGen', who are not instructing fighters properly.

Hearn believes if Eubank Jr. had signed with him, he wouldn't have missed weight. Speaking to Seconds Out, the 45-year-old said:

"I don't feel like the people [Eubank Jr.] had around him at the time were actually telling him to do the right things. I don't want to sound like an arrogant p**ck, which I probably do quite a lot, I could have got him to make weight."

Hearn added:

"From the moment he turned up, I could've got him to make weight. Very easily. But they f**ked around and they wasted time and then they left it too late. Then they took half-an-ounce off, it was pretty easy to do."
