And Eubank, 35, is evidently putting in the work as he shared a gruesome picture of his heavily blistered foot.

He captioned the post: “Boxing is as easy as it looks I promise. 6am run tomorrow is going to be so much fun... can’t wait.”

Not all of Eubank's followers were so appreciative of the post, with one commenting: “Put me off my lunch cheers mate.”

Another said: “Chris I'm eating my dinner mate.”

One joked: “Cheers for that Chris.”

Another pleaded: “Don't pull out the fight!”

Benn's promoter Hearn also told Boxing Social: “Maybe he's getting the excuses ready.”

But Benn was pulled out with just days to go after two failed pre-fight drug tests came to light which saw his British Boxing Board of Control licence removed.

He protested and fought his innocence – meanwhile taking his career to America for two wins at the 154lb light-middleweight limit.

Benn, 28, later saw his provisional UK Anti-Doping ban lifted – – and allowing him to fight on home soil again.

It also paved the way for the rescheduling of his bout with Eubank –
