CHRIS EUBANK JR has shared footage he claims proves his ambulance was blocked from leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after his war with Conor Benn.
Eubank Jr was taken to the hospital after edging what turned out to be a 12-round catchweight classic at the home of Premier League Spurs in April.
The IBO middleweight champion, who boiled down to 160.05lbs for the domestic dust-up, sensationally claimed that Benn promoter Eddie Hearn played a role in his ambulance being forced to wait for 20 minutes before departing for the hospital at a press conference to promote their rematch later this month.
Matchroom Boxing supremo Hearn vehemently denied the allegation and threatened legal action against Jr if he didn’t retract his statement.
But Jr has doubled down on the claim with a video on his social media channels, which he insists validates his accusation.
In the 19-second clip, an ambulance can be seen waiting by an exit gate with hordes of people walking around.
And amidst the chaos someone can be heard shouting: “Open the f***ing door.”
The video cuts out a split second after an unknown person gets in front of the camera and said: “Don’t film it, yeah.”
In the post’s accompanying caption, Eubank Jr claimed the footage showed his team pleading with security to allow the ambulance to proceed to the hospital.
It read: “This is footage of my ambulance being blocked from leaving Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26th & my team shouting at security to open the gate, so we can get to hospital.

“At this point I’ve been in the back of that ambulance for over 20 minutes.
“Eddie Hearn told everyone I lied about this but the truth is, it happened & we have to make sure situations like this don’t ever happen again in our sport.
“Boxing is dangerous enough as it is, we cannot then have fighters being stopped from getting medical attention after they fight.”
Hearn has yet to respond to Jr’s doubling down on his claim that he was directly responsible for his ambulance being held back.
The 46-year-old could respond by following through with his vow to take legal action.
In the immediate aftermath of Jr’s initial claim, a fired-up Hearn said: “I couldn’t actually believe what I was hearing.
“And he said, ‘Oh, what are you gonna do, sue me?’ Yeah. Abso-f***ing-lutely.
“Because you ain’t accusing me and my company of things like that.”
