Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, who trains British boxer Chris Eubank Jr., was arrested at Manchester Airport on Sunday after officials found a gun in his checked luggage, according to multiple reports.
McIntyre, 53, was due to fly to Atlanta and was charged with possession of a firearm.
The trainer planned to get on his flight Sunday morning after Eubank’s victory over Liam Smith in a middleweight bout Saturday night.
McIntyre made little attempt to conceal the weapon, according to the Daily Mail, .
“At around 10:45 am 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,” Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.

“After initial inspection by security staff, GMP officers attended, and the firearm was seized. Subsequently, a 53-year-old man was arrested for possession of a firearm and was taken to custody for further questioning.”
McIntyre faces two charges: possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate.
He is next due in court Oct. 9 in Manchester.

The trainer is a former boxer from the U.S., and he also trains American star Terence Crawford, who won the welterweight title against Errol Spence Jr. in July.
As for Eubank, his fight against Smith on Saturday was his first with McIntyre as his trainer, and he got revenge on Smith, who won their first bout in January.

“I had to fight some demons,” Eubank said, according to Sky Sports. “There were a lot of things to prove. People saying I’m shot. People saying I don’t have it anymore. I’m too old. Chin, punch resistance is gone, all these things I’m seeing and I had to live with that for six months knowing that it wasn’t true.
“That was tough. This is the first time I’ve ever been in a rematch before. Like I said I enjoy new challenges — I rise to the occasion when I have to.”
