Chris Eubank Jr and JJ McDonagh nearly come to blows during post-fight interviews after Irishman pulls out with injury
The fighters almost resumed their bout after Eubank Jr won by third-round stoppage
Chris Eubank Jr beat JJ McDonagh in the third round of their fight on Friday night, but that wasn't the end of their confrontation.
Irishman McDonagh retired before the start of the fourth, citing a shoulder injury as the reason for the bout's conclusion.
However, Eubank Jr didn't believe his opponent and instead declared that he "quit" after being knocked down in the first round.
The Brit made his feelings clear in ITV's post-fight interviews, which almost led to a second scrap between the pair.
Chris Eubank Jr stated: "He says it's his right shoulder. I'm not convinced, but it is what it is.
"This was my opportunity to shake off some ring rust, it was good while it lasted but the going was too tough for him and he quit. I was starting to land at will.
JJ McDonagh was then brought in and explained: "I had a bad shoulder injury, I took the fight, I knew he's a great boxer... If I was able to fight on, I would fight on.
"I hurt my shoulder through the second round... From then on he could have destroyed me, there’s no point taking a beating."
Eubank Jr responded: "Your shoulder's bad, I understand, but you pull through, that's the only way you're going to make it in this game.
"In my second professional fight I fought with one arm for the entire fight."
Their face-to-face continued with McDonagh ultimately losing his cool, shouting at his opponent: "Don’t get arrogant... Let's have a straighter right now with one hand."
The pair were then pulled apart to prevent an immediate rematch.
