But Eubank Jr is braced to make a career-lowest weight and drop 3lb from his usual 160lb middleweight limit.
He shared footage on his Instagram showing off a huge tomahawk steak at Salt Bae’s restaurant.
The former middleweight and super-middleweight champ posed as the famous chef fed pieces of meat into his mouth with a knife.
Benn’s coach admitted he would consider CANCELLING the Chris Eubank Jr fight if the 157lb catchweight agreement is not met.
A rehydration limit is in place as the pair have to weigh in on the day of the fight, with financial penalties imposed to make the weight.
There is an option to scrap the bout if either comes above 158.5lb, something Benn’s trainer Tony Sims would consider doing.

Sims told the Daily Mail: “We would definitely have a look at that. But I don’t think he will miss the weight by that much.
“Number one, I don’t think he would have suggested that weight, and number two I don’t think he would risk the cancellation.
“He might risk a fine on a pound, but the next pound up I don’t think he’d risk a cancellation.
“But I can’t really speak for him or how he does things, so who knows.”
