Chris Eubank Jr. and Frank Warren Amicably Settle Defamation Lawsuit
In an unexpected turn of events, Chris Eubank Jr. and promoter Frank Warren have ended their legal dispute, according to a joint statement issued recently. The defamation lawsuit, which arose after an incident in September, has been “amicably resolved”.
The conflict between Eubank Jr. and Warren originated during a press conference prior to the fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Eubank Jr., who was present to participate in a preliminary fight in Saudi Arabia, made derogatory comments towards Warren.
Subsequently, the boxer publicly apologized for his statements.
I would like to retract my inaccurate statements and offer my apologies to Frank Warren.

However, the situation has taken a turn, with both sides issuing a joint statement on Monday.

Joint Statement
The statement also indicates that both parties expect to maintain a positive professional relationship in the future.
Eubank Jr. had his last fight in April, where he defeated Conor Benn by points decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
