This is when his opponent saw the opportunity to ask Eubank a question that has clearly been on his mind.
“Chris, you go on about girls mate, has anybody in this room ever seen you with a girl? “Have you got something to tell us? Because you’re 33. Do you wanna tell us something? Because nobody in this room has ever seen you with a woman.”On the back foot, and unsurprisingly irked by the comment, Eubank tried to divert the conversation. “Listen, my private life is my private life. That’s irrelevant to the boxing, but I’m happy, I’m comfortable.” Smith asked again: “Do you have something you wanna tell us?” https://twitter.com/Terel_Vann/status/1616074397961392128 To which Eubank Jr responded: “It’s a very personal question to ask me directly. You can slide in my DMs or you can do it right now.” Smith concluded the back-and-forth by saying: “I’m not that type of way mate, I like women.” This was the final straw, and the 33-year-old responded by making some personal statements himself. https://twitter.com/Terel_Vann/status/1616077739416752135
“If you wanna get dark and personal with it, talking about being gay and do I like girls? I’ve been told by multiple sources that you cheat on your wife on occasion. “So glass houses mate. Let’s just relax on the personal stuff. I’d rather be gay than a cheat.”Smith replied: “You haven’t got a missus to cheat on.” https://twitter.com/ChrisEubankJr/status/1616097572053041154 Sky Sports presenter Anna Woolhouse instantly apologised for the ‘offensive language’ and ‘homophobic’ remarks that had been made. Fellow presenter Andy Clarke agreed that the content of the conversation was ‘personal’ and ‘homophobic’. It was then removed from the Sky Sports Boxing YouTube channel. Related links:
