Chris Eubank Jnr prepared for his all-British super-middleweight fight with James DeGale by taking delivery of a brand new McLaren 720S.

Son of Eubank will face his longtime rival at London's O2 Arena on February 23 in the first major UK event of the new deal between ITV and Haymon Sports.

Before the contest, the 29-year-old took some time away from his preparation to test out his new toy.

The super-middleweight boxer watched keenly as his new car was wheeled out of the truck

Eubank Jnr watches the car as it is unloaded from the delivery truck and driven down the ramp, before being handed the keys.

The boxer then climbs behind the wheel, and after tentatively driving it up to a turning, revs the engine and speeds off into the distance. 

DeGale has been in confident mood ahead of the much-anticipated showdown with his British rival. 

DeGale said: 'I'm looking at another two years of bigger fights than this now I've put in the months of work to be sure I beat Eubank.

'Compare our resumes. He's lost his only two fights against top-flight opponents, Billy Joe Saunders and George Groves.

'I beat Andre Dirrell in America to win my first IBF world title. I had that brutal draw with Badou Jack in New York in a unification fight to keep my belt.

'I beat Lucian Bute over there.'

Having been handed the car keys, Eubank climbed into the driver's seat and took it for a spin
