A MICROWAVE signed by Chris Eubank Junior has sold for £66,000 on eBay.

The Hove-born boxer signed the microwave outside a hotel in Newcastle ahead of his recent 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.

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

The microwave was auctioned on eBay – and has been purchased for a winning bid of £66,000.

The original listing was taken down last week, but was put back up with an end date of 5.44pm on Monday, October 25.

The listing finished with 47 bids, while the previous had more than 100.

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

The boxer tweeted: “Whoever wins email contact@chriseubankjr.com with proof of payment and we can then discuss the charity I donate to. Good luck.”

He previous said: “No idea why the listing was taken down this morning but it’s back up now… unfortunately all the bids have been reset. Let’s try this one more time… for charity. And yes I’m still going to match the winning bid.”

The microwave, which was listed by an account named elipatterson01, had a starting bid of £50.
