Context of the Sale
Eubank Jr’s decision to sell his McLaren follows a challenging defeat to Conor Benn, where he lost by decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This fight took place just weeks ago, after their first meeting in April, where Eubank Jr secured a narrow victory.
Despite the recent setback, Eubank Jr reportedly earned approximately £10 million from the rematch against Benn. His lavish lifestyle, which includes high-end vacations and luxury cars, has been well-documented over the years.
Reactions and Remarks
Rory Reid, YouTube Director at Autotrader, commented on the car’s uniqueness, describing it as the kind of vehicle that attracts celebrity car buyers.
As Eubank Jr bid farewell to the McLaren, Conor Benn, who had also indulged in luxury purchases, purchased a new Rolls-Royce estimated to be valued at nearly £300,000 shortly after their last battle.
The Aftermath of the Fight
Following his loss, Eubank Jr faced scrutiny, particularly regarding his weight management, which resulted in a fine of £375,000 before the early rematch. He claimed afterward that he encountered major difficulties in preparing for the fight, expressing respect for Benn’s performance.
While future plans remain unclear for Eubank Jr, he has made it evident that he is focused on supporting the accomplishments of his rival, asserting that his recent experiences have not diminished his fighting spirit.
