The original fight was canceled after Benn's 2022 drug test results showed that he had taken the illegal drug clomifene, but last year the 28-year-old's ban from boxing in Britain was removed, allowing the fight to proceed through.
Eubank Jr. is attempting to incite the irascible Benn who is prone to losing his temper easily. It's just too simple to irritate Benn, who is extremely touchy. After being egged, he appeared to require NHS treatment at the press conference that kicked off the event.
For a fighter like Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KOs), who lives on archaic sluggers, it's easy picking a battle with an emotional fighter like Benn (23-0, 14 KOs), inside the ring. To have any chance of defeating Eubank Jr., you must maintain composure. Benn will be simple work for a thinking fighter like Eubank Jr. because of his violent outbursts and emotional instability.
The British boxing rivals' heated arguments are getting out of hand, and there is more excitement than ever before for this much anticipated bout.
“Let me tell you about Conor Benn and his training camp. I have never witnessed anyone work so hard as Conor Benn in training camp,” said Eddie Hearn to Boxing Social on there you tube Channel.
“If Conor Benn loses, and I don’t believe he will, you can look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I’ve done absolutely everything that I can to win this fight,’ and he will win this fight. He will knock Chris Eubank out inside four rounds. That is my prediction,” continued Hearn.
On the actual night, as a loaded undercard unfolds before to the main event, excitement will grow.
