BoMac Reunites With Eubank Jr., Cites His ‘Killer Instinct’

By Graham Ilford: Trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre says he joined up with Chris Eubank Jr. for a second stint when they talked about his “killer instinct” ahead of his rematch with Conor Benn on November 15, 2025, on DAZN PPV at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Tottenham, London, England.

Eubank’s Edge Over Benn

The popular trainer ‘BoMac’ McIntyre’s reunion with the 36-year-old British middleweight Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) was announced on September 17, 2025. For ‘BoMac,’ re-upping with Eubank Jr. for a second stint comes at the perfect time.

Chris Jr. already beat Benn by a 12-round unanimous decision by the scores 116-112, 116-112, and 116-112 earlier this year on April 26th. One has to like Eubank Jr’s chances in the rematch due to these factors:

1. Experience and pedigree
2. Size
3. Punch output

The $1 Million Motivation

The 160-lb contender has a guaranteed purse of $10 million for the Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) rematch. Of that money, the trainer generally receives 10% to 15%. So, depending on what McIntyre’s percentage, he could receive between $1 million to $1.5 million for this fight. That’s not bad for short-term mercenary work for ‘BoMac’ for a month and a half of work.

Crawford’s Trainer on Loan

‘BoMac’ trains Terence Crawford, one of Turki Alalshikh’s favorite fighters.’ Still, with the Nebraska native likely to be sitting for his usual one-year time span between fights, it leaves the trainer with availability to coach other fighters like Eubank Jr., Lester Martinez, and Keyshawn Davis.

Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2 event will be shown on DAZN PPV starting at 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 pm PT and 7:00 pm GMT.

“He’s at the top. So, I jumped on it right away when they said, ‘Chris, he’s got that killer instinct. He knows what it takes to get it done.’ That’s why it’s so easy training with him because he trains so hard,” said trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre to Ring Magazine, talking about why he enjoys being teamed with Chris Eubank Jr. ahead of his rematch with Conor Benn on November 15th.

Again, one can understand why ‘BoMac’ would want to work with Eubank Jr. Even if he thought he was going to lose the rematch with the 29-year-old Benn, for the money he’s receiving, who wouldn’t want to train him?

“We’re in shape to go 15 rounds. I’m never going to say we’re going to stop him. It’s just like you’re low-level four-rounder,” said ‘BoMac’ about Eubank Jr, “But at this level, you can’t just say, ‘Oh, he’s going to stop him. If the stoppage comes, he’s definitely in shape to stop him
