Eubank vs Benn 2 live: Fight time as rivals prepare for huge rematch
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn engaged in their final press conference for Saturday’s rematch, where Benn seeks revenge after losing a thriller in April
A new dimension was added to the rivalry between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn on Thursday, as the rivals’ fathers reignited their own feud at the final press conference for their sons’ rematch.
On Saturday, Eubank Jr and Benn will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the former outpointed his fellow Briton in a thrilling bout in April – more than 30 years after Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn rounded out their own rivalry.
Eubank Sr made a surprise, last-moment appearance in April, having criticised the weight disparity between his son and Conor Benn in the build-up. And on Thursday, Eubank Sr was involved in a pre-fight event for the first time during this rivalry, attending the final press conference for Saturday’s rematch.
Conor Benn, 29, will again move up to middleweight to face Eubank Jr, 36, but they weren’t the only ones trading barbs on Thursday; Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn also got into a verbal back-and-forth.
