The microwave that Chris Eubank Jr was filmed signing in Newcastle city centre is selling for £66,000 on eBay, at the time of writing.
BenchWarmers brought you the video a few days ago, with Eubank Jr being spotted being approached by a fan with a microwave in his hands ahead of his bout with Wanik Awdijan.
It’s not something you see everyday, or ever. Fans go out of their way to get all sort of memorabilia signed by their favourite celebrities, but a microwave might well be a first.

You could have predicted – especially after the video went viral – that the fan in the clip was not going to be keeping the microwave for himself, rather he was going to shift it for cash.
That has proven to be the case, with the device currently set to fetch £66k on eBay, having originally been listed for £50 by the seller. It still has over 24 hours left to run, as of now.
Eubank Jr, clearly keen to make more of this situation than just a quick money-maker for the entrepreneurial Geordie, has agreed to match the amount it sells for and donate the money to charity.
Been sent a link to an eBay auction thats selling the microwave I signed in Newcastle. No idea how much it’ll go for but to make this a more meaningful situation whatever the winning bid is I’ll match it & give the money to a charity of the winners choice https://t.co/D1WFL3ygA8
