Chris Eubank Jr Retracts Claims Against Robert Smith

The retraction removes the basis for a damaging part of Eubank’s public attack during the September 17, 2025 press conference. He now accepts that neither Smith nor the Board is corrupt and has apologized for the harm caused.

Eubank confirmed a confidential settlement in a statement posted on social media on October 1. The wording leaves little room to interpret this as merely an apology for how he expressed himself. He explicitly accepts that the allegations were untrue.

“I accept that these statements are untrue and without any foundation,” Eubank wrote in his statement. “I accept that neither Mr Smith nor the Board are corrupt and I retract my statements in full. I have agreed a settlement of these matters on confidential terms. The parties now consider the matter resolved. I apologise for the harm caused to both Mr Smith and the Board.”
