PPV price for the event on April 26 in Dazn between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is £ 21.99 for fans of Great Britain and USD 24.99 for the world.

People on social media mainly say that they do not watch the Eubank JR-Benn event. Sometimes one or two express interest, but they significantly outweigh the fans who perceive this fight as unworthy that they are ordered at any price.

Fighting the family name

The event will be staged at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London, and the promoter Eddie Hearn is already delighted with how 60,000 tickets were sold. Eddie predicts that 1 million PPV buys from straightforward in British fans, which is right because they love this fight for some strange reason. Americans perceive this as a pressure ulcer, like YouTuber match or the fight for a celebrity between non-boxers. Placing the fight on PPV is worrying because even Undercard is needy.

Ring revealed the prices of the fight Eubank Jr. vs. Benn, and fans are not ecstatic to order it for obvious reasons. Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KO) and Benn (23-0, 14 KO) are two guys using their renowned parents, making millions without defeating anyone noteworthy.

Undercard

– Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna
– Anthony Yarde vs. Lyndon Arthur
-Chris Billiam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton
– Viddal Riley vs. Cheavon Clarke

As you can see, the card is 100% prone to the British audience, which means that the organizers assume that a sufficient number of fans will buy an event because it doesn’t matter if bombs around the world.

It will be because fans are not interested in ordering PPV events just to see the children of the renowned British fighters. If Benn and Eubank Jr. They beat high -quality fighters earlier, this is another thing, but they didn’t do it. Their CVs are so terribly terrible that it is gloomy that promoters sell it on PPV for fans.

Hearna’s forecasts

“The fight will be huge. He performs huge numbers of Pay-Per-View, over a million shopping,” said Eddie Hearn, promoter Matchroom Stamping ground About the event Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn on April 26. “You know that over 60,000 tickets have already been sold. It’s just a huge fight.”

Hearn is right. Eubank JR-Benn is doing well in Great Britain on PPV, but not elsewhere. It is a pity that Dazn does not create this event for free except for Great Britain, because it is not perceived as worth ordering on PPV, unless a person comes from this country. You really have to be a large fan of parents Benna and Eubank Jr. that everyone wants to order this event.

“I listen to comments:” It will be a circus. ” It’s a great fight. “Most give Eubank a little advantage because of greatness. Others who know that Conor think better that they stop him. This is a brilliant fight.”

You would not expect that Hearn will admit that the fight of Eubank Jr. vs. Benn is a fight at the circus level, but it is. Eubank Jr. He is 35 years elderly and has never won the title of the world. His best win in his career is with 36-year-old Liam Smith after he was eliminated by him in the first fight in 2023.

“You are not talking about two British Great. You catch their sons from the couch and put them in the fight for mismatch,” said Hearn. “These are two world -class fighters in their divisions. I just think stylistically, it’s a brilliant, intriguing duel. I think it will deliver it and this is a difference. This is not a fight in which they will enter and feel.

“I have never seen Conor the train this way. It is in the most amazing form. One thing in fighters is that if you get in the best possible condition, that’s all you can do,” said Hearn.

The Inoue-Nakatani title fight will take place on May 2 at the Tokyo Dome

Published

on

Boxing’s worst kept secret has now been confirmed – Naoya Inoue (32-0, 27 KO) and Junto Nakatani (32-0, 24 KO) will meet on May 2 at the Tokyo Dome for Inoue’s undisputed junior featherweight championship.

The all-Japan clash was formally announced at a press conference in Japan. The fight will be broadcast live on Lemino pay-per-view; US distribution rights have not yet been announced.

Inoue – ESPN’s No. 2 pound-for-pound boxer – is coming off an impressive 2025 in which he competed four times, defeating Kim Ye-Joon, Ramon Cardenas, Murodjon Akhmadaliev and David Picasso. Thanks to Inoue’s unanimous decision victory over Picasso in December, Nakatani defeated Sebastian Hernandez in the second fight of the night in a tougher-than-expected fight. Their victories set up a long-awaited clash between two of Japan’s best players.

Nakatani is ranked No. 6 pound-for-pound by ESPN and will look to become a four-division champion after winning world titles at bantamweight, junior bantamweight and flyweight. Although Nakatani narrowly won his junior featherweight debut in a grueling fight against Hernandez, Nakatani proved he was one of the best fighters in the world and had a powerful showing in 2025, winning 3-0.

The Undercard will feature Inoue’s younger brother Takuma defending his WBC bantamweight title against former four-division titleholder Kazuto Ioka.

Dan Rafael says IBF president opposed Jai Opetaia Presser

Image: Dan Rafael: IBF President Felt Disrespected By Belt Display At Opetaia Presser

Jai Opetai’s fight against Brandon Glanton is still moving forward, but veteran reporter Dan Rafael says the issue that caused the IBF title to be removed from the fight had to do with how the belt was presented during fight week. Rafael reported that IBF president Daryl Peoples believes that the organization’s title was shown as secondary to Zuffa’s belt during a recent press conference.

This explanation makes the argument about the presentation rather than the match itself. Rafael wrote that Peoples objected to the way the belts were arranged at the press, with Zuffa’s belt posed for the cameras while Opetaia held the IBF title rather than raising it in the usual manner towards the audience.


“The IBF withdrew sanctions and sent the overseer home after the journalist because IBF President Daryl Peoples felt disrespected by the belt being placed secondary to Zuffa’s,” Rafael wrote on social media.

Fight week photos reflect the arrangement Rafael described. At the final press conference on Friday, Zuffa’s belt was centered and Opetaia held the red IBF title at his side. Saturday’s weigh-in had a similar effect. Zuffa’s belt was raised over the fighters on the restart, while Opetaia continued to hold the IBF Championship on his chest. This sequence appears to have irritated the sanctioning authority.

Rafael also reported another unusual detail related to the fight. Even after the IBF dropped its sanctions, Opetai and Glanton were still expected to adhere to IBF weight rules ahead of the morning fight. Rafael said that no competitor can weigh more than ten pounds over the cruiserweight weight limit of 200.

Rafael later noticed that the IBF belt continued to appear in promotion for the event. Opetaia held the title at media events and discussed it publicly, and graphics broadcast by Zuffa covered the championship. Rafael’s account points to the dispute that raged over Zuffa’s title belt relationship during press events.

Opetaia entered fight week as the IBF cruiserweight champion after regaining the belt in a rematch victory over Mairis Briedis in 2024. The Australian continues to wear the physical belt while promoting his fight against Glanton. Once he steps into the ring and takes part in an unsanctioned fight, the IBF Championship will no longer move forward with him.

The fight remains scheduled, and reports from Rafael indicate that the split was due to belt politics and presentations at public events. The episode shows how rigorously sanctioning bodies guard the status of their championships as modern promoters introduce competitive titles.

Ryan Garcia ‘makes it clear’ who he now wants to fight next

Ryan Garcia has named one opponent he’s eager to face next, even though that particular fighter is negotiating for another opportunity.

The 27-year-old scored a dominant victory over Mario Barrios, whom he defeated in the first round, and then announced a unanimous verdict.

In this way, Garcia dethroned his fighter and became the WBC welterweight champion, securing his first victory since 2023.

Indeed, many took issue with the fact that “King Ry,” who suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rolando Romero last May, was given an immediate title shot against Barrios.

Previously in April 2024, Garcia tested positive twice for the banned substance ostarine, causing his majority victory over Devin Haney to be declared a no contest.

Garcia was also given a one-year ban by the Modern York State Athletic Commission, but is now considered one of the sport’s best-selling champions.

And while it has yet to be confirmed what the American will do next, it appears that a rematch with WBO welterweight champion Haney is at the top of his list.

Moving on to social mediaGarcia expressed interest in their potential unification match.

“I want to make this clear. If we can figure this out, I will fight this fight next. Point to blank period. #GarciaHaney2.”

Although Haney has also previously expressed interest in their possible rematch, it now appears that the 27-year-old will likely enter a unification fight with Romero.

There are rumors that “The Dream” will face his WBA counterpart on May 30, with the fight set to be headlined at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
