District Judge Richard Hawgood told him: "I'm sending your case for these two charges to the Crown Court at Lewes for trial.

"These are matters which can only be dealt with at crown court due to the nature and seriousness of these allegations."

A police investigation was launched after the teen alleged she was raped near the pier on July 16, 2022.

She was supported by specialist officers while Eubank was arrested and later charged.

Chris Eubank Sr held the WBO middleweight and super-middleweight titles between 1990 and 1995.

Joseph Eubank's brother Chris Jr is also a professional boxer and has fought the likes of Billy Joe Saunders and George Groves.
