    Chris Eubank Jr's trainer, Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre, was arrested at Manchester Airport barely 12 hours after his student's TKO victory over Liam Smith.<\/p>\n

    'Next Gen' got his redemption over Smith with a 10th-round stoppage win at the AO Arena in Manchester to mark one of the most significant results of his career to date. However, the occasion has been marred following news of McIntyre's arrest for allegedly carrying a gun in his suitcase the next morning.<\/p>\n

    A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "At around 10:45am on Sunday 3 September 2023, officers were called to reports of a possible firearm being found in hold luggage by airport staff at Manchester Airport.<\/p>\n

    "After initial inspection by security staff, GMP officers attended, and the firearm was seized. Subsequently, a man has been arrested for possession of a firearm and remains in custody for further questioning."<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The Mail reported armed officers apprehended 'BoMac' at Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport prior to his scheduled flight to Atlanta. <\/p>\n

    It was McIntyre who helped Eubank Jr earn his revenge over Smith after a change in camp resulted in a transformed performance in Saturday's rematch. The 33-year-old suffered a fourth-round TKO defeat to Smith in January but came back to win every round en route to Saturday's win.<\/p>\n

    It's reported the police probe is looking into how the gun allegedly came to be in McIntyre's possession. Investigators will seek to determine whether it was purchased in the United Kingdom or transported by McIntyre from the United States.<\/p>\n
