Don’t care how rich you are, no one wants to lose that amount of money.

The wetsuit was a blag, he just did that for theatrics.

He's weighed 160 or less for his last five fights, including Szeremeta. I refuse to believe it's a massive struggle for him, it's not like he's coming down from 168. Plus for the second weigh in, he was 160.05 and just took it on the chin. If he was wearing anything, he could have stripped or even called for the scales to be recalibrated. Then for the rehydration weigh in, he didn't even take his jacket off and still made 170.

I think what they showed us was ceremonial weigh ins. The official weigh ins are now mostly done behind closed doors for big events. They taking lead out of UFC’s book.

And just because you made the weight 7 months before doesn’t mean it will be easy each time.

Yeah, but they were talking about the struggle to make weight for months before. Apart from the legacy, it was the main selling point of the car.

Yeah, it's a ceremonial weigh in, but to miss by 0.05 of an oz is such a tiny amount.

We're going to have to disagree on this one.

I can’t remember how much he weighed on first attempt. He wasn’t massively over either.

I agree, it was a big talking point and probably selling point of the fight.

Made many believe that Benn had a chance. Add that to age factor too.

They did an excellent job selling the fight, on top of the fact they are their dad’s sons.

Anyone see Benn floor Deeney?

Yes - but then they gave it as a draw!

“I thought Eubank was in control all the way through. He got clipped with a shot in round three and a couple of shots throughout the fight, it ebbed and flowed, but for me Eubank was in control. But he’s got that height and reach, all that experience. It was quite a close fight but the right man won.

“Entertaining because he did get clipped with some shots, but he was bouncing Conor Benn’s head all over the place at the end of round 11 and in round 12. I’m not sure the rematch is as big. The first fight was great, we’ve seen it now, we know what’s going to happen. Benn’s not big enough to be at [middleweight].”

Agree generally with Froch's analysis - this was one of the most overated fights I have read about. Yes even commentators were questioning its "level" - but some of the analysis on how good the fight was, was way off. It was a decent little fight, Eubank well in control but I don't even think it was a great fight - hardly a bore fest but hardly this epic generational great fights that was talked about after.

Aaron McKenna wants undercard fight beneath Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn II

The middleweight contender Aaron McKenna is ready for the leading names and the champions – he is just waiting for the phone to ring.

The US-based Irishman is 20-0 (10 KOs) and the “Silencer” is aged only 26.

He scored the win of his career in April, when notching a resounding decision victory over Liam Smith, but has not had any sign of activity since.

The victory over Smith came on the bill headlined by Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, and with those two set to run it back on April 26, McKenna’s manager Mick Hennessy is hoping McKenna’s services will be called upon again.

“We’ve made it clear to Matchroom; we’ve made it clear to Riyadh Season, The Ring Magazine, that Aaron’s here; he’s ready; he’ll fight any of the current champions,” Hennessy told BS. “He’ll fight [Erislandy] Lara; he’ll fight [Carlos] Adames; we’ve made it clear we’d love the Adames fight.

“They’ve got history with sparring, and probably the best out of the lot of them, the Kazakh, Janibek [Alimkhanuly] – we’ve made it clear we’d take that fight as well. Aaron will fight any of those champions, no problem. Considering he’s a big lad, he’s 6ft 3, if there’s a mega fight or a super fight at super middleweight he’ll take that as well. He’s an old-school, no-nonsense fighter and he proved in that last fight that he’s great TV as well.

“He showed a bit of everything in that fight and for a young man to do what he’s done – I always knew he would, because I first saw him when he was 11 years of age and it was obvious to me that this young kid was going to do great things. He’s a brilliant talent.”

McKenna was mightily impressive against the Liverpool veteran Smith, even dropping him in the final round. His performance reinforced everything Hennessy already knew about the Irishman, who has sparred a who’s who of modern boxing on the way up.

“I thought it was a great fight,” Hennessy reflected. “Aaron can use all those skills and he can do it close up. He can do it off angles; he sits close to them at all times and he makes a great fight of it. And he showed that the thing about Aaron is the better the opponent, the better he’ll fight. And he’s done it as a baby; went and did it as a kid; went to the Ringside World Championships and was fighting the likes of Devin Haney. This kid doesn’t get the credit he deserves. They traveled out to [Jaime] Munguia’s backyard to Tijuana and just landed at the gym for sparring. It tells you what sort of characters the family is. They’re incredible boxing people and they just need more respect put on their name.”

Hennessy is referring not just to Aaron, but his 15-1 (14 KOs) brother Stephen and their father, Fergal.

The three of them have traveled far and wide, learning everything and sparring everyone, with Fergal taking his lads everywhere to improve them as fighters.

“It kind of sickens me when I see fighters that haven’t done what they’ve done or been prepared to do what they have been prepared to do and all the hype’s there and people are getting into a frenzy about them and I feel others should realize there’s a special fighter in Aaron and he’s not being given the backing he should be given,” Hennessy said.

“He won that brilliant fight against [Jeovanny] Estela and became favorite for the [Matchroom middleweight] tournament only for the tournament to be cut. He beat the favorite; he would have won that in style and winning that tournament would have elevated him to new levels, it’s just a shame the tournament got cut.

“As a result of that, he had some time out and got offered the Liam Smith fight and we took it. Aaron impressed in a big way on the biggest stage of all.

“Aaron’s the type of fighter that no one’s gonna take unless they have to.”

That is part of the problem with the imperious win over Smith. The queue to face McKenna has become shorter than ever, even though he is ranked in the top 15 by the four major governing bodies, and as high as seventh with the IBF.

“I am a little bit baffled, and the only thing I can put it down to is everyone considers him too dangerous a fighter,” added Hennessy. “I think that’s what’s happened. I think people thought Aaron was crazy for calling out [Hamzah] Sheeraz, but we all knew.

“Aaron was up for that fight; Fergal was; I was; we really fancied that fight strongly, then the Adames fight happened [for Sheeraz], and I think if Aaron is given the chance, he will become undisputed. He’ll beat all of them.”

And the bullish Hennessy says that on a November date, back on another Eubank-Benn card, McKenna should be given another opportunity to show what he can do.

“He’s ready for that slot and he will fight anyone on that card,” said Hennessy. “We’re waiting to hear back from Matchroom and Ring. He’s one of the few fighters that will fight anyone.”

Coaches confident of Conor Benn’s chances ahead of Chris Eubank Jnr rematch

Conor Benn’s training team are excited to see what their charge does when he meets Chris Eubank Jnr in their November 15 return.

Eubank and Benn competed in one of the fights of the year at Tottenham Stadium, which will also host their rematch.

Eubank Jnr won a decision in a gritty battle that gave tens of thousands of fans watching live a night to remember. It came at a cost, as he spent two nights in a hospital.

The fight was also a commercial juggernaut; both fighters earned career-high paydays.

“But for me as Conor Benn’s coach, obviously, I wanted to see him with his hand raised,” said Tony Sims, Benn’s chief second. “And he fought his heart out, but he never boxed to the potential that I know he can box to. You’ve got to bear in mind, he was out nearly a year and a half. He’s moved up two weight divisions to take that fight on.

“I mean, he barely weighed over a light middleweight on the morning of the weigh-in. And he was drinking bottles of water on the way to the weigh-in, so he’s a natural welterweight. So obviously, you’re fighting a much bigger guy. But listen, he’s got a second bite of the cherry and I believe there’s a lot more that we ain't seen of Conor Benn that I’ve seen in the gym of him.

“He’s got everything in his locker to go and win this second fight. And he knows what it’s like now to box up a middleweight.”

The weight was a contentious issue on both sides.

Eubank Jnr was fined by the British Boxing Board of Control for using social media to document his weight-making struggles, including using a sauna, which is forbidden by the BBBofC.

While Eubank’s team was far from enthused having to fight at 160lbs (Eubank paid a penalty for missing it by a fraction of the weight), they were also disappointed by the contractual agreement that stated Eubank could only put on 10lbs before a check weigh-in the following day.

Conversely, Benn’s team contended their charge was the one at the disadvantage. It was argued that he was moving up two weight divisions (he weighed 153 and 150 for his two previous fights), essentially a natural welterweight facing someone who has campaigned for a world title at super middleweight.

Regardless, Sims also felt his fighter was hampered by inactivity.

After the 2022 positives for PEDs - something Benn has always strenuously denied - ahead of their first proposed fight date, Benn boxed just twice in America. He had not fought for 14 months before the Eubank fight finally took place.

Eubank was just six month removed from a knockout win over Kamil Szeremeta last October 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“[Benn] got the rust off after not boxing for a long time,” Sims said. “Whereas Chris had that warm-up fight going into the fight. So I feel like he knows what he’s getting into now. I feel like he’ll produce a lot better performance than he did the first time around and I think we’ll see Conor Benn win this fight.”

Eubank got further underneath Benn’s skin before the first fight when he slapped him with eggs at their first press conference.

Benn fought angry in April, as recognized by his corner.

“I think it was obviously an emotional fight,” Sims admitted. “He’s been wanting it to get back in the ring. Obviously, he had the two fights in America but it was such a long time since he boxed there. He obviously wanted to get back in there.

“I feel like obviously the crowd and the stadium and the build-up all around it was a lot for him to take in. And I just feel like he’s a lot better fighter than we saw there; a lot better. And I believe that we’ll see that in the next fight. I feel like when I’ve spoken to him since, he obviously hurt Chris early in the fight – I think it was the third round – and then he hurt him again. And I think he felt like when he was catching him, he felt like he was wobbling him and he felt like that knockout was going to come with every punch.

“So, I think that he was more looking for the KO than to win the points decision. And that comes with experience as well. Obviously, Chris didn’t want to lose the fight either and he obviously fought his heart out as well, but I believe it'll be a more sensible approach to the next fight. I think he’ll be mentally better switched on, as I say, nearly a year and a half out the ring. It’s a lot for any athlete or any sportsman to not do their event for nearly a year and a half. And I think next time we’ll see a much better Conor Benn in there.”

Sims’ sentiments are echoed by John Ryder, a Sims gym protégé who now helps Tony work with his fighters in the gym.

The former WBO interim 168lbs titlist believes lessons learned from the first fight will be valuable for Benn, who lost for the first time and, at 28, is now 23-1 (14 KOs).

“I think Conor uses his head more now,” said Ryder. “I think he let his heart rule him a bit that night I think he’d be a lot smarter; he will box a lot better and I think he’ll come away with a win

“I think I could give an argument for [Eubank to win], yeah.

“Listen, if Conor lets his heart rule his head again then he can play into Chris’ hands but I think he’ll be smart now. I think he’s learned from his lessons from last time and ultimately it was a very close fight. I mean it came down to what… the final two or three rounds, and as Conor being a smaller man going against a bigger man, you’d expect him to fade from the weight of Chris leaning on and whatnot, but I think Conor would just be better prepared now.

“It’d be his second fight up at middleweight, I think he might even come in a bit heavier himself and just feel better and impose himself. I think Chris allowed Conor to work [and] his have his fight early doors and Chris come on strong the second half of the fight and almost let Conor blow himself out with the big shots and Conor was swinging in from his hips and like missing wildly, but I think Conor will listen to Tony more now and then just go and try and box his ears off.”

CONOR BENN: I DON'T LIKE CHRIS EUBANK, BUT SPITE ISN'T SAME BEFORE REMATCH

Conor Benn insists that controlling his emotions will be the key to winning his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr.

In April, Eubank fought his way to an exciting 12-round decision over Benn in one of 2025's best fights.

The rivals will renew hostilities at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15. The middleweight rematch, sponsored by Riyadh Season and Ring Magazine, will be screened exclusively by DAZN worldwide.

After sharing the ring with Eubank, Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) believes he holds the physical edge over the 35-year-old and, during an interview with Boxing Now, listed his advantages: "Reaction timings, explosiveness, fitness, endurance," he said.

"I think what went against me — and the only thing that went against me — was my emotions but that's you versus you, so that's something I need to work on second time around."

Benn is fiery, passionate and will need to battle his natural instincts if he is to think his way through the return.

"It was definitely a weakness going into the fight I think, but there was a lot of emotions," he said.

"It was my first fight back home [in the UK] in almost three years. I think it was more so that I did want to hurt Chris and wanted to really give the fans the fight they wanted. But sometimes you have to be selfish and go, 'OK, maybe I need to make the fight more boring, win in a more technical fashion rather than going in there and doing what I want to do.'"

The first fight between them caught lightning in a bottle.

After a tumultuous, controversial two-and-a-half year buildup, the evening gathered momentum from the moment fans began filing into Hotspur Stadium.

From Chris Eubank Sr.'s dramatic reunion with his son to the nostalgia-themed ring walks, the 60,000 capacity crowd was at fever pitch by the time the first bell rung. The fight exceeded all expectations.

It would be surprising if the rematch were as violent as the first encounter given that a good proportion of the hatred built up will have been replaced by a grudging respect.

The rematch is still three months away but Benn admits, for the time being at least, emotions aren't running quite as hot.

"I don't like him. I don't think the spite's the same, I think I got it all out. Hopefully, I did," he said.

"I'm not really too bothered about him. He done well, is a lot more stronger and was more resilient than I thought.

"I just let myself down, really. I can't even look at him. I just look at myself and go, 'What were you doing in there?'"

Jack Catterall-Ekow Essuman set to support Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn II

A potential fight between Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman is being negotiated with the intention of placing it on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn II.

Eubank Jnr and Benn are on course to fight again at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15 in a rematch of the high-profile contest at middleweight in April that was won via decision by Eubank Jnr.

Catterall, 32, proceeded to earn a decision over Eubank Jnr’s cousin Harlem Eubank little over two months later, and his reward could be a fight with the fighter who retired Josh Taylor, his greatest rival. Catterall is rebuilding at welterweight following his defeat in February by Arnold Barboza Jnr; it was in May when Taylor unexpectedly lost to Essuman when he and Catterall were considered on course for a potential third fight, and BS understands that the 36-year-old Essuman could therefore replace him in Catterall’s pursuit of a world-title fight at 147lbs. “Fight news coming”, he posted on social media on Saturday afternoon.

Negotiations are also taking place for a rematch – potentially on the same promotion – between Wales’ Gavin Gwynne, 35, and Cameron Vuong, of England. Vuong was awarded a both controversial-and-predictable decision over Gwynne at junior welterweight when they fought in November. Gwynne has since outpointed Owen Durnan and Vuong, 23, has stopped Jordan Flynn; Vuong is scheduled to fight against an opponent who is to be confirmed on a Matchroom promotion on September 6. It is regardless understood that their proposed rematch could yet take place on an alternative date.

A further fight being considered for the undercard of Eubank Jnr-Benn II is at welterweight, between England’s 30-year-old Conah Walker and the 35-year-old Blair Cobbs, of Philadelphia.

Eddie Hearn says rehydration clause shouldn’t be a problem for Chris Eubank Jr in Conor Benn rematch

Eddie Hearn suggests the Chris Eubank Jr might just have to make weight better this time around.

With Chris Eubank Jr once again preparing to take on Conor Benn in a middleweight rematch he will have to contend with the physical forces going against him. That wouldn’t only be the man he’s to face in the ring, as we saw Chris Eubank Jr struggle to make the contracted weight the first time around which cost him a pretty penny.

While Eubank Jr later mentioned that he had to go to the hospital following the fight in order to deal with dehydration, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn tells Sky Sports that there shouldn’t be any issue with Eubank making the 160 lb limit for the rematch or the fight day weigh-in where neither will be able to weigh more than 10 lbs over the 160 limit.

“At 160lbs, which is his championship weight, he was definitely tight,” Hearn told Sky Sports. “His last seven or eight fights have been at 160lbs so we weren’t asking him to do anything out of the ordinary. But he will have to make a decision within his career moving forward if he’s going to stay at middleweight or if he’s going to move to 168lbs. This fight is at middleweight, that’s the terms of the fight. Perhaps this time he’ll make the weight better.”

With the rematch on deck it would appear that Eubank Jr has at least conceded this point for the time being, and he’ll have to cope with the physical demands of the preparation for the fight as much as he’ll have to deal with the fighter opposite of him on fight night.

Tony Sims reflects on Eubank-Benn I and looks ahead to the rematch

“Listen, for the fans, it was a fantastic fight,” says trainer Tony Sims, thinking back to the April night when his fighter, Conor Benn, lost for the first time in his career to bitter rival Chris Eubank Jnr.

“Not just the fight, but the actual event itself and people that can remember back to their [Eubank and Benn’s] fathers fighting. It brought back all their memories. It was a fantastic event. And like everyone said, it was the Fight of the Year. It probably was.”

The boxers will fight again on November 15, back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. As is the case with the location, the terms of the rematch are also the same as its predecessor.
That means Benn, who can still box at welterweight, will climb back to 160lbs, and Eubank, more comfortable at 168, stays at middleweight.

More has been made of the latter than the former.

Eubank had to pay a substantial fine for coming in marginally over the weight last time, and neither fighter was allowed to put on more than 10lbs by the following morning.

“Well, to make the fight, they’ve both got to do things that they've never done, you know, like Conor’s never jumped up two weights before. So it’s a massive jump,” said Sims. “I mean, how heavy can Chris weigh in more than Conor? He was already a lot heavier than him on the night. Even at the weigh-in, he was a lot heavier than him.”

A fight at 168lbs would be out of the question.

“Because then you’re doing three weight divisions,” Sims adds. “Bearing in mind, he [Benn] weighed 156 for the fight, so he’s not even nowhere near 160, let alone 168. So to make the fight, there’s got to be concessions from both sides. And the way I looked at it is Chris made 160 for his last five fights and there wasn’t any talk about that, really. He only boxed a few months before the Conor Benn fight and made 160 in Saudi. No one said anything. So, you know, I believe he could have made 160 for this fight. He weighed a little bit over, but he turned up to the weigh-in like with 10 minutes to go, you know what I mean? So, he turned up really late. I believe he could have made that, but listen, it is what it is. Conor Benn can’t move up a third weight to 168 so there’s got to be a realistic weight that Chris has to make, which is his natural weight; 160. And Conor’s probably natural weight for this fight is like between 154 and 156.”

Benn lost for the first time in 24 fights. Now 28, the Essex fighter is hungry for revenge.

“Obviously he wanted to win the fight,” said Sims. “As I say, he believed that he could knock Chris Eubank out, but it was too much belief in that on the night. And I think he knows he’s better than what he was in that fight. Obviously, it’s great to get the adoration of the fans, they all loved the fight. But it’s like I’m saying to him, ‘We’re going in there to win. We want to win the fight.’

“He took this first defeat on the chin, but I believe that he’s got a lot of belief in himself that he can win this next fight. He knows what he’s got to do. He knows what’s in front of him.”

Sims insists Benn has more potential than he showed in April, that there is more to see from his fighter.

“I’ve seen what he can produce in the gym,” added Sims. “I don’t know if Chris Eubank’s got much more than he showed on that night. Obviously, the fight's going to be spectacular. I mean, a lot of people bought into the first fight, but I think because it was like the Gatti-Wards, we never expected the fight to be like that. And it lived up to such a build-up.

“And then, when we’ve seen the fight, it’s like when Gatti and Ward fought, everyone screamed for a return, screamed for the trilogy, because when you see a fight like that, especially when you’re seeing it live as well, it’s like you’re sitting there open-mouthed because you can’t take your eyes off it for one second, because anything could happen. And I think the second fight is going to be a great fight – but I think Conor Benn will have too much for him this time.”

DAZN respond to speculation about Chris Eubank Jnr-Conor Benn II

There was a point during today’s Joseph Parker vs. Fabio Wardley press conference when DAZN’s executive vice president of combat sports and new business Michael Ridout was on the microphone admitting all eyes will be on boxing this weekend… when Paddy Donovan and Lewis Crocker meet in Windsor Park in Belfast.

Of course, as he built up the occasion in his introduction, minds collectively travelled to Las Vegas, where Canelo Alvarez fights Terence Crawford, before he delivered the line about the first all-Irish world title fight in history.

Some have started to speculate why DAZN is yet to publicise the November 15 rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.

Eubank won a savage first battle on points in April, and the return takes place back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“We are still talking, there’ll probably be some news next week, there’s a conversation happening in Las Vegas this week,” Ridout said of Eubank-Benn II. “I would very much expect to see it on DAZN, whether you see it on another channel [as well], I don't know yet, but you can assume that you will see that fight on DAZN.”

Could that be part of a new membership subscription as DAZN modifies its structure?

“It definitely could be. There’ll be an announcement on that in the next few weeks,” Ridout added. “We’re still working it all out exactly how it’s going to work but it is absolutely our intention to create a top tier subscription package that includes your pay-per-views.”

Is he certain that they will get the Eubank-Benn rematch?

“I am fairly convinced that we’ll have that fight, yes. We have a deal with Conor Benn via Matchroom and he is taking part in our fight so we’ll have it.”

Benn today appeared on Sky Sports, talking about the rematch which was originally intended for September 20. It was thought that Eubank's issues to make weight - he just failed to make 160lbs last time - might have been the reason for the date being pushed back.

"The weight wasn't an issue in terms of negotiation," said Benn. "I thought the delay and September 20 not happening was because of the weight so there was room for discussion on the weight. [But] the feedback we had from their camp was that the weight wasn't an issue."
