British boxer Chris Eubank Jr has put his eye-catching red McLaren 720S supercar up for sale, with an asking price of £525,000. The move comes just weeks after the 36-year-old suffered a painful decision defeat to his long-time rival, Conor Benn, in their rematch last month.
From the Ring to the Road: A Champion's Car for Sale
The luxurious vehicle, a 2018 model finished in a striking 'Volcano Red' candy paint with a full forged carbon fibre widebody, has been listed on the UK automotive marketplace Autotrader. The interior is just as lavish, featuring red-tinted carbon fibre, red Alcantara, and crisp white stitching. However, the car's most distinctive feature is its ultra-exclusive licence plate: "1 KO".
Rory Reid, YouTube Director at Autotrader, commented on the listing, stating: "This Mansory McLaren is exactly the kind of head-turning, one-off celebrity car buyers love to see on the platform. It’s a genuine champion of the road, complete with the ultimate boxing plate."
A Lavish Lifestyle and a Costly Rivalry
Eubank Jr, known for flaunting his wealth through expensive holidays and cars, reportedly earned around £10 million for his recent rematch with Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This sequel fight reversed the result of their first epic encounter in April, where Eubank Jr secured a razor-thin victory in North London.
The rivalry between the two fighters has extended beyond the ring. Ahead of their first bout, Eubank Jr was hit with a £375,000 fine for failing to make the weight limit. Benn later cheekily admitted he used money from that fine to purchase a brand new Rolls-Royce, believed to be worth nearly £300,000.
Post-Fight Reflections and Future Uncertainty
Following his recent loss, Eubank Jr revealed he had faced serious issues in the lead-up to the fight. "I’ve been through hell and back to make it here," he said, though he declined to give specific details. He praised Benn's performance, stating his opponent was "strong, was fast and he was tough."
When questioned about potential retirement, Eubank Jr deferred, saying, "We’re not talking about that right now. This night is about Conor." The sale of his high-value McLaren now offers a boxing fan the chance to own a unique piece of memorabilia from one of Britain's most flamboyant fighters, marking a new chapter after a defining rivalry.
