A tense confrontation unfolded at the morning weigh-in between Matchroom CEO Frank Smith and Team Eubank's Mazhar Majeed, with the two nearly coming to blows.
The row followed Chris Eubank Jr’s late arrival and slight weight miss, which triggered a £375,000 fine.
Tensions were already high, made worse by Smith’s personal ties—he’s currently dating Eubank’s sister, Emily.

The fighters now face a strict rehydration clause, with a 170lb cap to be met on Saturday morning or risk further penalties.
Despite the friction, a ceremonial weigh-in will still take place publicly.
Smith has previously acknowledged the awkwardness of balancing his executive duties with family dynamics, especially during sensitive fight build-ups like this one.
