Williams, 29, was decked twice by his middleweight rival’s jab, a key punch throughout the British grudge match.
And it left him with a closed left eye which the former British champion revealed on Instagram.
Eubank Jr, 32, insisted after the fight that he purposely refused to go for the knockout, to instead drag out the beating over the distance.
He told Sky Sports: “I wanted to teach this man a lesson. He had said some menacing things to me leading up to this fight so I wanted to punish him.
“I thought, ‘I do not want to knock this man out in the first round’. I want to get people like him out of boxing.
“You saw the fight – headlocks, headbutts, crazy stuff. I’m surprised he didn’t get disqualified. I punished him like I said that I would do.”

Eubank Jr, who revealed he BIT Williams, said stopping the Welshman, 29, would have given his rival ‘an easy way out’.
He continued: “If I stepped on the gas at any point in the fight, he would have been gone. But he needed to be taught a lesson.
“I didn’t want to give him an easy way out. There are levels to this game. Don’t be a big mouth to guys that you can get hurt against.
“He thought he was something that he wasn’t.”
Eubank Jr added: “People tell me I can’t box. Apparently I have no jab. I thought: ‘Let me show the critics a different side’.”
