Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn | PPV - 26 April 2025

[maverick23]

Lyndon Arthur v Chris Eubank maybe????

I was hoping for Cash but maybe Arthur. Not PPV though.

Surely there’s a good chance that Cash is trying to get pregnant, too?

Of course. Mr VADA hasn’t been to see him though…

It's best it's called off with all this rigmarole going on. Eubank Jnr was most likely going to batter or seriously hurt Benn and the cat droppings would hit the fan with the roiding/doping and the rehydration palaver etc.

Agree !

Wonder what the fall out will be with this now off ? Dazn must have done a load of cash with it not going ahead and so will Matchroom not to say the reputational damage for the brand over their attempts to salvage the fight.
Can't see Benn being too popular either and wonder when/if he fights again ?

Hearn gonna sue BBBC. That guy.

Hearn gonna sue BBBC. That guy.

Eddie and Kalle have come across terrible

Hearn is a rat. Be a man eddie and blame your fighter for being a drug cheat, not the board.

[Glass Joe]

Always going to be money first over morals in boxing.

Really?

Hearn's pockets are way deeper than the Board's. Know anybody who would do Pro Bono on this, Loynsey? Maybe they already have people? The Board don't have the money to fight anything if they have to pay cash monies.

Fights off but nobody will forget what Eddie and Kalle have done, not to mention Benn, Eubank Jr is the only one to come out with any credit, another black eye for boxing but we go again

Sitting on this for 2 weeks and hoping to get the fight through.

Someone in the know decided to sabotage the fight and leaked the info.

[Counter-puncher]

Hearn is a sickening character. as bad as I've found him somehow he seems to have plumbed new depths here. that statement is utterly vile.

get the bingo boards out.

I unearthed that old IFL video earlier this afternoon and some guy kindly turned it into a Twitter friendly clip that's had 125,000 views.

The most useful thing I'll probably do all year.

Lol what fighter / fight is Hearn referring to here?

Billy Joe vs Andrade. The contract was VADA testing which is what the state in the US used. The WBO stripped Billy Joe because the fight couldn’t take place there. Interestingly Billy Joe wasn’t banned by the BBBC because they didn’t find a positive test and the substance isn’t on their banned list (which is in-line with WADA).

Slightly different scenario because I’d imagine that if that fight was due to take place in the U.K. it would have happened.

Thanks. Who was BJS signed with then? FW?

He'll spin things and those with media credentials and general access will lick his boots as usual but he has done way more harm to boxing over the years than good IMO, way more. Most people will realise that too late. I'll never deny that he has helped make a few people rich. He is good at that. He is also a very hard worker and provider for his family. He'll be remembered as a PoS though. That will be his legacy.

If he was concerned about getting booed before at shows, he will be getting hammered by the fans if he takes the mic doing post fight interviews in future. I'm not too hard on Kalle because he seems a bit of a dopey happy go lucky character. It's hard to take him seriously.

[Counter-puncher]

in that statement he actually mentioned that he didn't think pursuing the fight would be 'in the interests of the sport'

i swear some of the stuff Hitler said after Munich was more sincere.

in what world, you insufferable fvcking spiv, does anyone think you have the 'interests of boxing' at heart?

what a complete knt Camp Eddie is. he's back to being called Camp Eddie for good now.

oh indeed, you've said before and its entirely true. i think from the start i was instinctively distrustful of his 'new broom' schtick, I briefly warmed (or more accurately un-cooled) towards him because he kept giving me great fights with my favourite flyweights but fvck it, Bam Rodriguez and Chocolatito can't ever make up for this shite

[TheLeprechaun]

Bam getting UD'd by Sunny would be awesome.
