However, it is the blood of Smith — who Eubank Jr. has fought twice with one win apiece — which can be seen on the jacket.

The jacket is made up of the canvas used in Eubank Jr’s second fight against Smith, which he won via knockout having lost their first encounter via stoppage.

“This is real blood? That’s sick. I’m a big jacket guy — and that is a sexy jacket,” Eubank Jr. said.

The words “It’s in your blood” appear on the back, with the date of their rematch and a Union Jack flag also featured.

The statement piece was presented to him by sportswear brand 1909 and Boxing News, according to the Daily Mail.
