In a stunning turn of events following Chris Eubank Jr’s resounding victory over Liam Smith in Manchester, the boxing world was left in shock as his trainer, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, found himself in legal trouble. Eubank Jr’s triumph on Saturday night was meant to be a story of redemption, a decisive victory that avenged his earlier loss to Smith. However, the euphoria was short-lived as McIntyre’s arrest at Manchester Airport on Sunday morning sent shockwaves throughout the boxing community.
Eubank Jr’s performance inside the ring was nothing short of exceptional. He outclassed Smith, dominating the one-sided fight until the referee called it off in the tenth round. This victory was a crucial redemption for Eubank Jr, coming just nine months after Smith’s fourth-round TKO win against him in the same venue in January. The world was ready to celebrate Eubank Jr’s resilience and skill.
Yet, the celebration was marred by a disturbing discovery at the airport. Reports emerged on Monday, revealing that McIntyre had been detained by authorities as he attempted to board a flight to Atlanta, Georgia. The reason for his detainment was the alarming discovery of a firearm in his suitcase, loaded with live ammunition, along with a magazine cartridge. The incident unfolded in the departures lounge of Manchester Airport’s terminal two, drawing the attention of armed police.
