Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn

[Mark TKO]

I'll say this. They're selling this fight well. Really does remind you of the good old days when their dads captivated the nation with their rivalry. Great to see the respect and bond between Nigel and Chris these dates with both admitting that the other is one of the most important people in their lives.

Not sure what attention or interest this will get overseas mind as neither I believe are a threat on the world stage.

Conor has mentioned David Haney, Garcia and Tank but think he will not go there.

Eubank Jnr has mentioned names but will want to face Canelo and retire.

Chris Eubank Jr has been fined £100,000 after hitting fellow British boxer Conor Benn in the face with an egg during a heated exchange in the build-up to next month's grudge match.

The British Boxing Board of Control said in a statement: "Following a hearing before the stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control, Chris Eubank Jnr was found to be in breach of regulation 25 (misconduct) for his conduct at the press conference in Manchester for the Chris Eubank Jnr v Conor Benn contest on 26th April, 2025.

"As such, the stewards of the board fined Chris Eubank Jnr the sum of £100,000."

Eubank, 35, who has a 34-3 record, defended his actions two days later at a second media event.

He said: "Did I cross the line? During this whole process I think many lines have been crossed.

"So me throwing an egg at somebody who absurdly claims that was the reason why he failed two drugs tests, I think that's light, I think he deserved the embarrassment of what happened. If I had an opportunity to do it again then I would.

"Unfortunately, I come unarmed today. I've been searched multiple times and I couldn't sneak any in."

I really do not understand the trailer, maybe because I am old but KSI and Speed are in it. I had to ask my son. Maybe they are advertising a game?

Can anyone explain this to me please?

This is just one step up from a YouTube fight.

Anybody who steps into a ring is brave and at least these two are actually professional fighters …….. but……

Surely nobody really thinks either of these guys would get anything like the media coverage they have had if they were not called Benn or Eubank.

Now, both their dads really were fantastic and skilled fighters, but the sons less so.

Connor is much much smaller than Eubank, he is jumping up couple of divisions without growing into the higher weights. His resume is packed with journeymen without a real name on there at all. Then there is the egg issue.

Eubank is a decent middling European level talent, he has never quite had what it takes to be elite or world class and he has shown quite some slippage recently. This is a cash in fight for him.

Definitely not an ‘event fight’ for PPV 🤔

Yarde is on the undercard and glad he is fighting on a high profile show. I like this video of his going back to his childhood in London. It was very enjoyable.
