Just see the clip of him confronting Eubank out in Saudi. I don’t think there is a boxer I have ever disliked more than Conor Benn. He comes across as a right arrogant Cvmt
Emphatically agree! I would rather he doesn't get another fight than he gets hammered but makes the biggest purse of his career.

Give poor little baby Benn a break lads. He's only such an unlikeable, disrespectful, spoiled, immature pr!ck because he wasn't able to get his 30 eggs Bennedict breakfast out in Saudi this morning.
On serious note would laugh my ass off if he fails to secure a big payday and gets dusted by an unknown.
Hope Eubank tells him to do one.

Totally agree with everyone re how dislikable and irrelevant Benn is
But Eddie deserves some stick here. He obviously arranged and financed Conor’s trip over there with the intention of drumming up some interest in the proposed fight with Jr and probably stage managed that little “confrontation” too.
And it doesn’t take much of a leap of faith to assume Jr was also playing a pre scripted part in Eddie’s little show.

this was so staged, Benn really does have a unique ability to make himself unlikeable doesn't he.

Defo, esp after the eggs drama.
But yeah, it's all about making the fight, Benn needs the fight, it's all gravy for Eubank, Eubank will be able to get it now without the weight cut

Benn being the bad guy will sell the fight more
this is what will happen no doubt. Least Eubank doesn't need to cut weight dangerously. Small mercies.

Conor Benn is a gutless limpdick.
He threatens to iron out Eubank, but not at the moment because Jr has a fight coming up!
How utterly pathetic.
Benn better get back to necking his wife's fertility pills and then he might be a little less angry and also less likely to tarnish the Benn name.

Fights happening, everyone will earn well and we will enjoy watching it.
Quite likely many will tune in hoping for Benn to get bashed up, bums on seats

Says a lot when a 147lb fighter decides not to peruse a career and achieve success at his weight instead choosing to jump up 2 weight divisions for a non-title fight against a guy who probably cuts down 2 weight divisions to make 160.
When I say “says a lot” …. Clearly the fight will make Benn probably 10 times more than he’s made !
I’m not entirely sure how comfortable Eubank is making 160. Whilst he’s been hitting 160 in his last 4 (?) fights I’m not convinced. I’m not sure he’s optimum cutting to 160.
Providing Eubank isn’t drained at 160 then surely he wins? Benn hasn’t achieved anything at 147lbs to suggest he’s good enough to step up and beat Eubank who’s proven to be a top level fighter at 160 and had some good wins at 168 too

Only 6 years ago “The Dads” were in talks to fight a third time …
From 2 fights Eubank has won 1 drawn 1 . If Jnr wins it surely settles family name bragging rights once and for all

I notice after the Eubank fight Benn was referred to as being banned and it was ending soon, however nothing officially announced about a ban, what’s the score?

The Sky interviewer was quick to downplay it so makes you think it’s not meant to be common knowledge, I didn’t realise they could keep it quiet

Apparently the next hearing is this month.
If it goes well the fight will happen in the UK or a BBBoC fight in Saudi.
If it goes badly it will happen on a DAZN show where Benn is licensed in the USA

Benn isn’t allowed to fight in the US at the moment. If it goes badly then that will remain the case.
