Chris Eubank Jr has rocketed his way to two stone due to his fighting weight by enjoying too much of the Caesars Palace buffet.
The middleweight returned at 160 pounds on October 12 against Kamil Szeremeta in Saudi Arabia.

But during training in Vegas the weight ballooned to 190lb – or 13st 5lb – which is two stone more than the 11st middleweight mark.
he told the former rival george groves: “This year I weighed 190 pounds for the first time in my life. I think it might have been cruiserweight.
“I don’t know how I did it and it was actually pretty cool because… I was in Vegas, yes.”
Groves suggested it was the equivalent of the famous £60 Caesars Palace buffet and asked what Eubank’s order was.
He replied: “You have to get king crab legs with melted butter. Steak.”
British boxing legend says Anthony Joshua has ‘regressed’ and ‘doesn’t have the right team’ who wants major changesAn excited Eubank was training at Top Rank Gym and Floyd Mayweather’s boxing club and intimidating sparring partners.
He said: “It was interesting because I was top ranked and getting in the ring with Floyd, a middleweight, and his punches were bouncing off me.
“And these are guys who fight at middleweight and I wasn’t feeling anything and I was just throwing them around and I said, ‘Wow, this is interesting.'”

Eubank, 35, has not fought since stopping Liam Smith, 36, in ten rounds in a rematch last September after losing to him seven months earlier.
And he rejected a lucrative deal to fight 34-year-old Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, amid his inactivity in the ring.
Eubanks said: “This kind of fight against Szeremeta is exactly what this is about.
“To make sure I can still make weight and be effective, being 35 years old, being out of the ring for a year, how will the weight cut? We’re going to figure it out.
“You wouldn’t want to find out when you’re getting ready for Canelo? Or a big, big name you want to know before you get into situations. So I’m excited.”
