LONDON -- Chris Eubank Jr. apologised to Frank Warren on Wednesday after a scathing rant in which he lashed out at several promoters.
Eubank Jr. made the comments at a pre-fight news conference ahead of the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol undisputed lightweight title fight on Oct. 12 in Riyadh.
"Following today's press conference for the historic Riyadh Season on October 12th, I would like to retract my inaccurate statements and offer my apologies to Frank Warren, Eddie Hearn and Kalle Sauerland," Eubank Jr. said.
"I now wish to focus purely on boxing and preparing for a huge fight in Riyadh next month."
Warren then released a statement accepting the apology and apologising if he had upset Eubank Jr.
Warren's statement read: "I accept Chris' apology and retraction. I too have said things before and apologise to him also if any criticism of him has upset him in the past.
"I look forward to seeing him compete on this huge Riyadh Season card. We look ahead to some potentially massive bouts in the future."
Eubank Jr. made a series of allegations, aimed primarily at Warren, Sauerland [Eubank's former promoter], Hearn and Frank Smith [CEO of Matchroom Boxing].
The Beterbiev vs. Bivol undercard also features Fabio Wardley's rematch against Frazer Clarke, with the British heavyweight title on the line once more.
Rising light heavyweight star Ben Whittaker is also on the card, taking on Liam Cameron.
