Chris Eubank Jr. is known for his unique preparations. The British middleweight boxer did just that as he attempts to recover from an elbow injury.

The 27-year-old was forced to pull out of his October 22 fight against Tommy Langford. But, he sure seems keen on recovering sooner rather than later.

In a strange way of recuperating, however, Eubank playfully wrestled with a baby lion. Although he may have impressed many with his bold move, it came at the expense of his €1000 shoes.

The current BBBofC British middleweight champion, who holds a 23-1 career record, took to Instagram to share the video of his latest ‘bout’.
