Chris Eubank Jr received a bizarre request during a meet-and-greet session in the wake of his scrapped fight with Conor Benn.
The 33-year-old appeared at Rathbone Boxing Club where he posed for photos and signed autographs for his supporters.
Normally, the British boxer is asked to sign shirts, flyers and gloves for his fans, but on this occasion a fan had Eubank Jr sign his college laptop.

The student approached Eubank Jr and asked him to put a pen on plastic and the boxer willfully agreed to sign the Apple-branded laptop.
During the video captured by YouTube channel Boxing Social, the fan was heard saying, ‘It’s my uni laptop, I need it. It’s precious. It’s even more valuable now, though.’
Oddly enough, it might not even be the most outlandish autograph request Eubank Jr has gotten.
That came last October in Newcastle, ahead of his fight with Wanik Awdijan, where he was asked to sign a microwave.
The British middleweight boxer was stopped on the street outside the Hotel Indigo in Newcastle and was flooded by fans asking for photos and autographs.

However, a supporter ran into the street with the microwave and bizarrely asked the 32-year-old to sign it.
The fan was heard to say ‘It’s all I have’ as he asked the boxer to sign it.
Eubank Jr – who was clearly shocked to be asked to draw a kitchen appliance – initially said, “No, not the microwave!”
However, the British middleweight boxer quickly changed his mind and gave his bag to a friend.
Eubank Jr then grabbed the edge and drew the top of the microwave. Onlookers were equally shocked to see the 32-year-old signing a kitchen appliance. A fan said, ‘A microwave? Damn it?’
While another supporter added: ‘I can’t believe I’m seeing this.’
The signed microwave was put up for sale on eBay and is said to have sold for £66,000
The microwave would later be placed on Ebay, where the Mirror reported it was being sold for £66,000.
Eubank Jr was given a link to the microwave that was being sold and tweeted, ‘I’ve been given a link to the eBay auction selling the microwave that I signed up for in Newcastle.
“No idea how much it’s going to cost, but to make this a more meaningful situation, whatever the winning bid, I’ll match it and donate the money to a charity of the winner’s choice.”
Eubank Jr was set to fight Benn on Oct. 8, but the latter would test positive for the banned substance clomiphene — a female fertility drug classified under hormone and metabolic regulators that can increase testosterone in men.
Despite efforts by both sides to go ahead with the event, it was eventually abolished after the British Boxing Board of Control banned it.
‘The Destroyer’ then took to social media after the fight was officially called off, claiming he is a clean athlete and stating that he was “completely shocked and surprised” by the findings.
