Chris Eubank Jr was reportedly subjected to vile homophobic abuse ringside from a fan after his shock fourth-round knock-out defeat to Liam Smith on Saturday evening.
The shocking incident came after the eventful final press conference where Smith said 'nobody in this room has ever seen you with a woman' to Eubank Jr.
One supporter repeatedly called Eubank Jr a 'p**f' and 'c***', as he climbed over the fencing to access the media area ringside, before being escorted out of the AO Arena in Manchester, according to talkSport.
