Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan issues pre-fight warning to Chris Eubank Junior

Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan has warned Chris Eubank Junior he will face a ‘man possessed’ on December 12, as he continues his battle to provide for his three young daughters.

The middleweight pair have long been linked, with O’Sullivan desperate to square-off with Eubank, son of the former two-weight world champion of the same name. And he will finally get his wish when they meet at London’s 02 Arena next month in a final eliminator for the WBA regular world title.

The duo came face to face for the first time at a press conference yesterday after years of back and forth on social media, but they were kept well apart by a large security presence. Eubank, too, refused to pose for the traditional head-to-head photos because Sullivan famously kissed Anthony Fitzgerald at their weigh-in last year.
