[Ruthless-RKO]

Azim-Abdullaev, Catterall-Essuman, Riakporhe-Welch announced for Eubank-Benn II undercard

The undercard for the Chris Eubank-Conor Benn II undercard has been announced, and it features Adam Azim, Richard Riakporhe and Jack Catterall in separate bouts.

The show, staged by The Ring in conjunction with Riyadh Season, Boxxer, Matchroom and Sela, takes place on November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur.

Slough’s fast-handed junior welterweight Azim is 13-0 (10 KOs) and ranked No. 8 by the WBC and No. 10 by the IBF. He’s matched with 20-2 (12 KOs) Armenia-based Russian Zaur Abdullaev, the IBF’s No. 9 at lightweight, who is coming off a May loss to Raymond Muratalla in his last fight.

Catterall, ranked by all four major governing bodies at welterweight, meets in-form Nottingham man Ekow Essuman, 22-1 (8 KOs), who scored the win of his career to defeat former undisputed champion Josh Taylor earlier in the year.

It will be Catterall’s first fight since linking up with trainer Derrick “Bozy” Ennis, having left Jamie Moore’s gym.

Catterall, 32-2 (13 KOs), won a technical decision over Harlem Eubank in July after their fight was stopped following a clash of heads thatsaw the contest stopped after the seventh round.

Riakporhe, who moved up to heavyweight after a WBO cruiserweight title challenge of Chris Billam-Smith, will fight Brighton’s Tommy Welch, son of former heavyweight title challenger Scott Welch.

Billy Nelson-trained Londoner Riakporhe is 18-1 (14 KOs) and won his first heavyweight fight when stopping 9-9 Kevin Nicolas Espindola in round four in Saudi Arabia in May.

Welch is 16-0 (9 KOs).

The run of tough fights continues for Ishmael Davis, too, at Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium where Davis meets Sam Gilley.

Davis, 13-3 (6 KOs) and from Leeds, has lost his last three, to Josh Kelly, Serhii Bohachuk and, most recently, to Caoimhin Agyarko in Belfast earlier this month. Gilley is 18-1-1 (9 KOs) and the 31-year-old junior middleweight is hoping to get back to winning ways after an eight-round draw against Gideon Onyenani in Ipswich in June.

The show, called Unfinished Business, also sees Joe Gallagher-trained flyweight prospect Mikie Tallon, 10-0 (1 KO), box Bradford’s 4-2-2 Fezan Shahid.

I am liking this undercard. Mikey Tallon is trained by my favourite person Joe G, meant to be a lovey fella Mikey is too which helps. Ishmael is great, will fight anywhere at any notice. I did not expect Welch on there but what an intriguing fight against RR. Liking this.

Ishmael Davis has completely transformed his life in 12 months!

I really admire his willingness to just accept fights where he's the underdog or it's 50-50. Seems rare.

I'm not sure Welch is ready for RR, but guessing he's got the opportunity because of connections with the Eubanks?

The Welch fight is crazy. I’ve seen a couple of his fights live. This is a massive step up.

Conor Benn offered super-welterweight world title shot after Chris Eubank Jr rematch against new champ Abass Baraou

Abass Baraou is the new WBA super-welterweight world champion; Germany's Baraou has offered Conor Benn a shot at his title after the Briton's rematch with Chris Eubank Jr; Benn is not a natural middleweight but it might now suit him to drop back down to 154lbs rather than welterweight

Conor Benn has been offered a world title shot down at super-welterweight.

Next month Benn will rematch Chris Eubank Jr up at 160lbs, higher than his accustomed weight class.

Benn does expect to move down in weight after this second Eubank fight, but it could be challenging for him to get all the way back down to welterweight. He hasn't actually made the 147lbs limit since 2022, before his suspension for an anti-doping violation.

Super-welterweight therefore could be a more natural weight for him after two consecutive 12-rounders at 160lbs and new WBA super-welterweight world champion Abass Baraou has offered Benn a shot at his title.

"Conor Benn is around 154lbs. He's a big name in the UK, I'd love to fight in the UK. The fans are amazing. Coming in the UK, having a big fight like that, why not? I'm ready for it," Baraou told Sky Sports. "Here in the UK, having a show like that is one of the dreams.

"He's a great fighter, he's explosive. Fights with a lot of emotions. I know obviously my skill and I see myself dominating him and teaching him a little bit of something."

Baraou is looking for big fights. Jermell Charlo has been designated as his mandatory challenger and a unification with WBO titlist Xander Zayas is also richly appealing.

"It's exciting what's going to happen. There are a lot of names in this division. Charlo's said to be mandatory, Xander Zayas got into the ring right after [his last fight]. It's a stacked division. Good fights. I'm looking forward to the next big fight," the German said.

"It can be anyone. Xander Zayas, Charlo, [Sebastian] Fundora would be a great fight, a unification. Looking forward to the next challenges and keep progressing.

"The next fight I'm looking to raise my profile, prove myself," he concluded. "Be a threat to everyone, be the name in the division, that's my goal."

Just watched the first fight back. I think Benn wins the rematch.

So much was made about Eubank being weight drained, I think he looked as muscular as I have ever seen him. More so than when he was at 168 even. His back was massive. Think 160 will be just as hard or harder this time.

Also think he looked shot. He was so much slower and cumbersome than at anytime during his career. Benns head movement was definitely giving him trouble, but Benn tired and stopped doing what was working well for him.

Can see Eubank being worse and Benn being slightly better this time, which will be enough.

[Coco]

For Benn to win, he needs to be significantly better than before, and Eubank needs to be significantly worse

Retirement not in Chris Eubank’s mind as he looks ahead to Conor Benn rematch

Chris Eubank has said he is not thinking about retirement as the recently-turned 36-year-old nears his rematch with Conor Benn next month.

Eubank has heard the calls to retire from those who believe the last fight, which saw him spend time recovering in hospital, took too much out of him, and he said even his father, Chris Eubank Snr, had asked him to consider his future.

Eubank defeated Benn after 12 breathless and gruelling rounds in April, and speaking to John Dennen at Sky Sports, he confirmed he’d heard whispers from others talking about retirement.

“I’ve heard people suggest that, 36 years old, achieved so much, fight of the year, what more does he need to do? Maybe he should retire,” Eubank said.

“Why go through all that again? Because the truth is I don’t need to. Because if we’re talking about financial stability, I’m set for life. So I don’t need to be doing this anymore.”

But Eubank is a competitor and the desire still burns within. He has won 35 and lost three of his 38 contests since turning over in 2011.

“I still feel fresh. I still feel capable,” Eubank added. “I still have that hunger and that fire and that desire to get up to train every day, to better myself as a fighter, to perform in front of the fans. So retirement is just not in my mindset right now. You guys are going to be seeing me for a while.”

The Benn fight was gruelling. Eubank appeared shaken several times and was understandably exhausted at the end of the Fight of the Year contender.

“It was tough for sure, but punishing, no,” he said. “It was a dogfight. I’ve had tougher fights. The George Groves fight, I’m fighting a guy who's 20lbs heavier, can punch like mule, got cut. That for me was a harder fight. I’ve had spars, they’re called doghouse spars, you just spar for as long as you can until somebody gives up. There’s no rounds, there’s no breaks, you keep going until somebody quits. Those are tough. I’ve had a few tough ones. I know what I’m capable of.”

Eubank-Benn II takes place on November 14, back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, site of the first battle.

From what I've seen, he's going to get a pasting.

Chris Eubank Jr. confirms dad will attend Conor Benn rematch after viral moment

Chris Eubank Jr. has confirmed his famous father will be ringside for his rematch with Conor Benn after their stunning arrival for the first fight in April.

Less than six weeks from their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on DAZN, Eubank told The Ring that it was his father’s presence which galvanised him, and said he will be able to rely upon it again on November 15.

“He will be at the fight,” Eubank Jr. said. “He will definitely be at the fight."

Eubank and his father, Chris Sr., provided one of the biggest viral moments of the year when DAZN cameras captured their arrival at the stadium hours before the grudge clash.

The 59-year-old two-weight world champion had spent much of the buildup to that fight appealing to his estranged son not to fight Benn at all.

At the final press conference ahead of the fight, Eubank Jr. said he and his father had not spoken for years after being inseparable throughout the early stages of his career.

Eubank Sr. had insisted he would not play any part in the fight at Spurs, but that all changed when he wore a disguise to meet his 36-year-old son on the eve of the fight for an unlikely reunion. Twenty-four hours later, they arrived at the stadium in the same car.

The moment was played on the big screens all around the stadium, sending the capacity crowd into a frenzy before they later did the ringwalk together. The father took his seat at ringside and watched his son claim a unanimous decision via three identical scores of 116-112.

“My camp is in Dubai so he will not be there but ... he's taken a step back from that role in my life, as my trainer and mentor in terms of my boxing," Eubank said.

“He hasn't been doing that for a long time, so that's not going to all of a sudden change. I have my team, I have my foundation, I have my training methods and I'm going to stick to that.

“But my old man will be there on the night.”

Over the course of the 12 rounds, Eubank (35-3, 25 KOs) was forced to dig as deep as he ever has in his career. He was later taken directly to hospital because of severe dehydration.

“My dad gave me those extra few percentages in the first fight when I needed to push through those last few rounds," he added. “Knowing that my old man is there and he's showing up, that gives you that little bit of extra pump, that little bit of extra oomph to stay in there and get the job done.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

Speaking on Froch on Fighting, ‘The Cobra’ outlined how he thinks the rematch next month might go.

“I’ve sparred Eubank Jr, quite a lot of rounds and he’s quite big and strong and tough. For Conor to go twelve rounds with him and have a close fight with him it’s just brilliant.

“I think Benn if he takes his time a bit more he’s got more of a chance. I think he did really well, Conor Benn performed out of his skin. He will improve on the next fight and he’s a lot younger than Eubank Jr. I hope Benn chins him. I’m still making Eubank Jr a favourite.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

[MasterG]

Haven't watched any of the build up, and not interested, but will watch the fight, free of course.

The great boxing con job will give Benn the win leading to an all or nothing 3rd for those suckers will fork their money out to watch 2 less than mediocre boxers make more money to buy Sheik Al Hamden Al Mactoum luxury yacht at 180m

Eubank Expresses Dissatisfaction With His Contract For Benn Rematch

Chris Eubank Jr. didn’t threaten to pull out of his highly anticipated rematch with Conor Benn.

England’s Eubank did, however, make it clear during his appearance on “Inside The Ring” on Monday that he is unhappy with certain terms in his contract for their second fight. Eubank (35-3, 23 KOs) and Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) are scheduled to box again November 15 in the main event of The Ring’s “Unfinished Business” card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Eubank beat Benn by unanimous decision April 26 in a 12-round middleweight match at the same venue.

Eubank, 36, and Benn, 29, signed contracts for two fights. Part of that two-bout agreement was a rehydration clause that prohibits either fighter from weighing more than 170 pounds, 10 above the contracted limit, at second-day weigh-ins the mornings of their fights.

The 5-foot-11 Eubank, who has competed as high as the super middleweight maximum of 168 pounds, weighed exactly 160 on April 25. The 5-8 Benn, who had never boxed above the junior middleweight limit of 154, came in at 156.

Eubank expressed his discontent with the rehydration cap both before and after their first fight. Ben Shalom, Eubank’s promoter, has repeatedly deemed rehydration clauses unsafe and called for such restrictions to be eliminated from boxing.

Though he brought up the topic, Eubank wouldn’t specify to “Inside The Ring” co-hosts Max Kellerman and Mike Coppinger which contractual terms haven’t satisfied him as their rematch nears.

“These are not easy waters to navigate,” Eubank said. “You know, the final contract for this fight hasn’t actually even been fully agreed on. So, you know, there’s still a few things that we’re gonna try and smooth out and make right.”

The elusive Eubank declined to elaborate when Kellerman asked for a clearer explanation.

“Yes, we agreed for a second fight before the first fight,” Eubank said. “But there are certain parts of the contract that are still up for negotiation. I’m not gonna go into what parts of those contracts they are, but we are in negotiations for certain things. So, it’s up to me and my team to get the best deal.”

The bitter British rivals will headline a DAZN-Pay-Per-View show in the UK (£24.99) and the United States ($59.99).

New episodes of “Inside The Ring” premiere each Monday on DAZN at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT).

Eubank on accusing Hearn on keeping his ambulance from leaving the arena after the first Benn fight
“What I can say is obviously Eddie Hearn wasn’t physically standing in the way of the ambulance but he is the head promoter in and he’s controlling the event, and in that event one of the main participants was held up in an ambulance for over 20 minutes and not able to leave the grounds to go to hospital. So regardless of whether he directly or indirectly had anything to do with it, there is some accountability that needs to be had.

“There was no investigation, no apologies, whereas all the other things I’ve getting investigated for: the saunas and egg slaps. Everyone is immediately jumping on me for that but where’s the investigation for something as serious as an ambulance not being able to leave a stadium. It doesn’t sit right with me. So hopefully we can get to the bottom of that situation over the next couple of weeks. I’ve been called a liar, I’ve been called a drama queen, but what reason would I have to lie about something as serious as that? It can’t happen again.”

On how the first fight with Benn transpired in the ring
“I am going to go into that ring on November 15 and we’re going to set the record straight. I won the first fight but I won it in a fashion which I was proud of but at the same time there was disappointment in that victory. I wanted to make sure that he didn’t see the 12th round. I wanted to make sure there was no question of who the better fighter was and the fact that Conor Benn can come away from that fight saying he hurt me and ‘I was one shot away from finishing the fight’ — that’s all lies but I want it to be conclusive this time around.”

On how strongly he considered not taking the Benn rematch with the same rehydration clause that affected him the first time
“These are not easy waters to navigate. The final contract for this fight hasn’t actually even been fully agreed on. There’s still a few things we’re going to try to smooth out and make right.

“We agreed for a second fight before the first fight but there are certain parts of the contract that are up for negotiation. I’m not going to go into what parts of those contracts they are but we are still in negotiations for certain things. So it’s up to me and my team to get the best deal, let’s put it that way.”

[tigermoth87]

Eubank wins this comforably. Benn is dog shit. Eubank's biggest problem is, he tends to coast and underestimate people (like Liam Smith) but when he gets his head on, he's solid.

He'll cruise to a comfortable victory here, maybe even a stoppage.

Won't be paying that, might have been tempted if it had been less but it's not a card that is a must see

[mickey1975]

Benn looks really small stood next to Ishmael Davis after sparring. He really is a welterweight.
