Eubank jr warns Awdijan ahead of their fight as he says he has lost his respect.
Chris Eubank jr has warned Wanik Awdijan ahead of their fight this Saturday saying he is in for ‘a rough night’.
He stood with his hands on his hips during an intense face-off with Awdijan at Friday’s weigh-in after a build-up littered with threats and insults.
He stated that he always respects his opponent but was furious at what Awdijan was saying on social media.
“I had no ill feelings towards the guy until I saw what he was saying on social media,” Eubank Jr said.
“Now there will be more spite in my punches on Saturday.
“He has done this to himself.
“I always show respect to fighters. When they don’t show respect back? That’s when it is a rough night.”
Eubank Jr claims that Awdijan will want to cause an upset but insists he will do everything possible to stop him.
“He’s ready,” Eubank Jr said. “He’s coming to cause the upset and I’ve got to do everything in my power to make sure he does not do that.
“I’m very excited, it has been a hell of a few weeks, I was supposed to fight two weeks ago.
“I’m in a big fight in December so wanted to be out this month so I can still make that date. Everything is on schedule.
“I just need to do the business on Saturday night.”
