Eubank Jr looked in impeccable condition after successfully making the 160lbs middleweight limit.

He revealed: "I ate all through the night! Chicken breast, sweet potato, apples, bananas, cashew nuts. I had to eat so I didn't drop below the weight.

"I am a middleweight.

"At super-middleweight I had eggs, bacon, hash browns and probably a jam croissant on the day of the weigh-in! I was never a super-middleweight.

"It's an awesome feeling when the hard work has been done.

"The fight is the easy part.

"The media, the weight cutting, the trash talk is a means to get to the ring."
