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

[wrighty]

Bs reckon that it's not happening and eubank could fight Oliha for the IBO

[Bigdogsnose]

Well lets draw a line under this one. Definitley nothing more to see here.

[Nightmare Roy]

Hearn managing to keep a straight face in his interview today deserves credit, he must know he's parroting absolute garbage.

I haven’t listened to any of the stuff from today yet. What garbage has he said?

Benn has been cleared by UKAD / VADA / rada/ Prada / Barack Obama / a Llama etc

Don't forget the world renowned testing authority, the WBC have cleared him too.

They even went to the trouble of suggesting the excuse he should use didn't they?

Eubank vs. Benn Negotiations Conclude: No Deal Reached, Both Sides Moving On

Chris Eubank Jnr will not be fighting Conor Benn. Not on February 3rd 2024, anyway.

Earlier this week, Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, admitted that the fight was in danger of falling apart and it was confirmed today that the saga - which began back in October 2022 when Benn’s positive test for the banned substance clomifene caused the late cancellation of their initial catchweight fight - has finally come to an end. For the time being.

Eubank’s promoter, Kalle Sauerland, told SecondsOut that they finally walked away from the fight having been unable to agree a commercial agreement. It looks likely that they will now pursue a mandatory shot at IBO middleweight champion, Etinosa Oliha (19-0, 8 KO’s).

“The Conor Benn discussions - unfortunately - have ended. That fight commercially couldn’t be made and yesterday the IBO have ordered their mandatory. A very tough 19-0 knockout specialist champion so we’ll be negotiating that now,” Saurerland said.

“I can just put it down to commercial reasons. I’m not gonna go into too much detail.”

Don’t expect this to be the final story you ever read about the fight. The Eubank and Benn family names have been linked for more than 30 years and will probably be linked for 30 more. It is almost inevitable that discussions will re-open at some point in the future but a line in the sand has been drawn.

“I think that fight is always gonna be somewhere lingering,” Sauerland continued. “It will all depend on who wins and loses in the future. Is there still interest int he fight? Does Conor stay at that weight? Does Eubank go up? Those things are for the future and at the moment it’s all about what’s next for Eubank for us and it’s not Conor Benn.”

The chemical in Benn's system was ingested, not administered. I have no idea why there isn't more made of that.

I just think everyone knows what's happened.

Benn should be shouting from the rooftops that it was in his food and not injected.

It was Ennis before, just name dropping,

[TheLeprechaun]

Just delighted this fight has fallen through. Hearn and Co always saw the big money of this fight and I couldn't be happier that it's off. A loss now for Benn at fringe world level would be perfect.

[Twinkle Toes]

They need the Uk gate to make this fight, and the baord...well they aint on board.

I think this is it in a nutshell.

Can't see anywhere else interested, the Saudi's seem to want heavyweights only and it means nothing elsewhere

[SeanBrennan]

this will drag on so long it will end up Eubank Jr Jr vs Conor Benn Jr

[KiwiRider]

this will drag on so long it will end up Eubank Jr Jr vs Conor Benn Jr

I've pretty much lost interest in it.
Eubank can retire on a nice legit redemption win for all I care.

You will have to wait for the book and the mini-series.

[wrighty]

Kalle tabbed the IBO middleweight champion for CEJ and he's kicked off about it saying he wants belts, but he refused the wbo mandatory, who else is there?
