Perhaps they have sold the remaining 'official' tickets off for pennies on the pound or decided to comp them out.

Channel 4 News is featuring the fight just now

probably the first time in history they’ve bothered to feature a boxing fight … and they choose this one

Actually they must’ve featured Bruno Tyson

People still banging on about this not being a big fight, they're not world level, it's because of the dads etc etc, it's still a huge fight regardless, I can't wait tbh, I couldn't care less about size difference, sure it might have a bearing on the fight but both know what they signed up for and they're getting paid serious bread

I've always leaned towards Benn being too young and aggressive, just pressing Eubank and clocking him like Smith did first half but I've had a change of heart, think Eubank knocks Benn out , maybe early, Eubank starts fast himself sometimes but tends to coast, Benn hasn't looked the same since the test, but has got some good rounds in, I can genuinely see both guys knocking the other out and it won't be nothing to do with weight, it'll be about getting caught clean but you know if Eubank wins he's too big, if he loses he's drained meh

I think it's going to play out just like the Eubank-Liam Smith fight, I just can't decide which one.

Jimmy2020 wrote: 23 Apr 2025, 05:59 I think Eubank Jr was head and shoulders above the level Conor is or will ever be but unlike most I wouldn't be at all surprised if Conor writes this version of Chris off. If that happens, it won't be a shock, or a great victory or any of the rhetoric we will hear, it will be an aging fighter who is fighting, and has been fighting, at a weight that is too low for him to be strong and virile - this will be the worst ever version of Chris Eubank Jr in terms of his raw physicality. Anybody who thinks Conor will not be the fittest, strongest, fastest, most powerful version of himself ever for this fight is deluded - he will be far, far more explosive than he was in those two fights in the USA.

Final Prediction: This should be easy work for Chris, I understand why almost everybody is picking him, but I'm going with a tide and time prediction. Conor Benn will stop Chris Eubank. Chris will be weak, off the pace and get his clock cleaned. Hope I am well wrong.
I agree with your analysis and fear your prediction could be bang on the money.

For me there are shades of Haye Bellew here. A physically compromised guy earning the last big payday available to him by choosing to fight a manufactured rival who he’d have dealt with easily in his prime

If Eubank uses his physical advantages he should control enough of the fight to win it.
There could be some showboating and challenges allowing Benn access to the VIP Room [Eubanks Inside].
If he takes advantage of that you never know.

I can already envision a beating and broken Benn sobbing into his dad's arms, he's too emotional, it might help him catch Eubank Jr cold early but I'm thinking Eubank keeps his cool and rides out whatever storm Benn brings

Chris rides out the first few rounds, tying Benn up on the inside and ragdolling him about, then as Benn begins to slow sticks it all over him and annihilates him

Benn hasn't fought at the same level at all, can't stand him

Benn will be dangerous in the first couple of rounds but, based on his last 2 fights, and likely lack of eggs in his diet now, I doubt he’s got the power to stop Eubank who has only really been hurt once.

Benn is fairly easy to hit when he plants his feet. The extra weight probably won’t help him there.

He does seem extremely fit though. Saying that I still think Eubank is too big for him. I can see him KOing Benn in round 4 or so. With an uppercut as Benn is coming in.

If your referring to the Smith fight, even that was an elbow to the head.

eubank been at 160 for 6 of his last 7 fights (he was 164 in the fight he wasnt), and for most of his career. smw was just a brief spell for him. what's this all about fighting at mw now being some big detrimental factor? is it because of the rehydration clause?

people talk like he's moving down weights or something

When when he moved to 168, he said admitted he was a very small super middleweight. it didn't feel natural to him
