A MICROWAVE signed by boxer Chris Eubank Junior is selling for tens of thousands of pounds on eBay.

The Hove-born star signed the microwave outside a hotel in Newcastle last week ahead of his fight with Wanik Awdijan.

The 32-year-old was swarmed by fans asking for pictures, before he was approached by a man holding a microwave, which he wanted the boxer to sign.

After some initial confusion, Chris obliged.

A video of the encounter has since gone viral on social media.

The microwave is now being auctioned on eBay – with a current bid of more than £65,000.

The listing has had 97 bids and is due to finish at 5.32pm on Saturday, October 23.

In an act of goodwill, Chris has announced he will match the winning bid and give the money to charity.

In a tweet, he said: “Been sent a link to an eBay auction that’s selling the microwave I signed in Newcastle.

“No idea how much it’ll go for but to make this a more meaningful situation whatever the winning bid is I’ll match it and give the money to a charity of the winners choice.”

The microwave, which has been listed by an account named elipatterson01, had a starting bid of £50 and has a postage cost of £30.

Chris, the former IBO super-middleweight and WBA interim middleweight champion, forced Germany’s Wanik Awdijan to retire before the sixth round of his most recent fight.

It was Chris’s 31st win in his 33rd professional contest and a first bout since May.

It comes after his father, Chris Eubank Senior, was robbed of his signature Louis Vuitton bag outside a Barclays bank in Edgware Road, London.

The retired boxing champion said a man ran from behind and ripped the £400 brown clutch bag from under his arm.

He dubbed the man “Britain’s most brazen” criminal for tackling him in the street.

The bag contained personal items including a bandana he wore in the jungle on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and ID for his role as a city marshal in Opelousas, Louisiana.

There was also a quarter bar of Waitrose Belgian chocolate with hazelnuts.

“That’s what’s really messed up my day,” he said. “It’s been in there for six days just ready to eat. I like it at that temperature, and they took it.

“I’m hoping if the thief shows the documents to his friends and they recognise my name, he’ll give the manbag back.”
