Chris Eubank Jr says he has compensated the fighters on the undercard who were set to box when his bout with Conor Benn was cancelled in 2022.

The contest was called off when Benn failed a voluntary drugs test, prompting a two-year battle with anti-doping authorities, before his suspension was lifted in November.

The middleweight bout between the Britons has been rescheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26.

Eubank posted a screenshot on Instagram, external appearing to show payments to 10 fighters who missed out on the original fight card.

He wrote: “Here’s a little something to help out the undercard fighters that were left out of pocket.”

“Few boxers didn’t want to give me their bank details… maybe they will now.”

Shannon Courtenay, who was set to fight on the undercard, replied “man of his word – thank you” to Eubank Jr’s post.

Unified IBF and WBO super-bantamweight titles champion Ellie Scotney, meanwhile, wrote “what a guy”.

Benn, 28, has always denied intentionally doping and both fighters are being tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (Vada) for next week’s contest.

An independent report by the WBC in February 2023 said Benn’s failed drugs test was not intentional and could have been caused by a “highly elevated consumption” of eggs.

The pair had to be kept apart by security at a news conference in April after Eubank smashed an egg across Benn’s face during a face-off two days prior.
