Chris Eubank Jr. claims to have made up for the undercard fighters who had been scheduled to box prior to his 2022 cancellation.
After Benn’s two-year dispute with anti-doping authorities, his suspension was lifted in November, and the competition was called off as a result.
The middleweight contest between the Britons will now take place on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A screenshot of the original fight card was posted by Eubank on Instagram that appeared to show payments to 10 fighters.
He stated, “Here’s a little something to help out the undercard fighters that were left out of pocket.”
“Perhaps they will now… maybe they won’t want to give me their bank details.”
Shannon Courtenay, who was scheduled to face off in the undercard, responded to Eubank Jr.’s post with “man of his word-thanks.”
Ellie Scotney, the unified IBF and WBO super-bantamweight champion, later wrote, “what a guy.”
Benn, 28, has always denied having a doping background, and the Vada is testing both fighters for the upcoming week’s competition.
Benn’s failed drugs test was not intended, according to an independent report released in February 2023 by the WBC, and could have been the result of an “highly elevated consumption” of eggs.
