CHRIS EUBANK JR chomped his way to TWO STONE over his fighting weight by enjoying the Caesars Palace buffet a little too much.
The middleweight makes his 160lb return against Kamil Szeremeta on October 12 in Saudi Arabia.

But while training out in Vegas scaled 190lb – or 13st 5lb – which is over two stone from the 11st middleweight mark.
He told former opponent George Groves: “For the first time in my life this year I hit 190lb. I think that might be cruiserweight.
“I don’t know how I did it and it was actually quite cool because… I was in Vegas, yeah.”
Groves suggested it was down to the famous £60 Caesars Palace buffet and asked what Eubank’s order was.
He replied: “You’ve gotta get the king crabs legs with the melted butter. Steak.”
Beefed up Eubank was training at the Top Rank gym and Floyd Mayweather’s boxing club and bullied sparring partners.
He said: “It was interesting because I’d be getting into the ring at Top Rank and at Floyd’s with middleweights and their punches are just bouncing off me.
“And these are guys that fight at middleweight and I just wasn’t feeling anything and I was just throwing them around and I was like, ‘Wow, this is interesting.’”

Eubank, 35, has not fought since stopping Liam Smith, 36, in ten round of their rematch last September after losing seven months prior.
And he rejected a lucrative deal to fight Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, 34, amid his inactivity in the ring.
Eubank said: “That’s actually what a fight like this is for against Szeremeta .
“To make sure that I can still make the weight and be effective, 35-years-old, been out the ring for a year, how’s that weight cut going to be? We’re going to find out.
“You don’t want to find out when you’re getting ready for Canelo, right? Or a big, big, name you want to know before you get into the situations. So I’m excited.”
