Chris Eubank Jr has left a former pound-for-pound legend in Roy Jones Jr to team up with the trainer responsible for sharpening the skills of boxing’s current pound-for-pound no.1. Brian McIntyre i…
Midge Minor was the gym’s lead trainer but Crawford, 17 when he first sparred with McIntyre, wanted BoMac as part of his training team from the start. “I guess you could say I’ve been something like a big brother, a big cousin, an uncle to Terence,” BoMac told The Athletic in 2020.
Spence’s trainer Derrick James, who also works with Anthony Joshua, took an uncharacteristic pre-fight shot at his fellow coach when he said that BoMac – built more for comfort than speed – “hasn’t missed a meal in years” and accused him of jealousy over James’s higher profile. “He’s basic. Look at all of his fights,” said McIntyre of Spence. “All of his fights he starts with a jab and he’ll hardly bring his feet with him when he goes to the body, right. So he got a good jab… but you can’t be still. Just make sure you have some room to work.”Now, McIntyre is working with Eubank Jr on his own mission for revenge – the first time the son of the UK ring legend has had a rematch and a chance to avenge a loss in his career.
Certainly after some curious choices – having his father as his lead trainer for early parts of career and this recent stint with Jones – Eubank Jr has finally found a sharp boxing mind. But even if BoMac can bring the level of forensic breakdown he did on Spence to Liam Smith, there are no guarantees.
