Eddie Hearn is so confident that Conor Benn will defeat Chris Eubank Jr, that he is prepared to put 1 million pounds on the line.

Benn and Eubank Jr will go this year, and the couple started the press conference route this week as part of the fight.

It was a week of war, both from the relevant warriors and the promoters themselves.

In the last war, the words of the couple appeared, and Hearn challenges Eubank Jr, Ban Shalom, to a huge plant.

Approaching Shalom, when he was half of the IFLTV interface, Hearn was asked if he hugged his opposite man’s hand. He replied: “Yes, of course.”

Shalom added: “We are very good friends now” from Hearn – wearing a stone cool expression – he said: “Great friends.”

Then the interviewer decided to add a little fuel to the fire, asking the question: “Grand 100 pounds?” Invitation for a couple to put money where their lips are.

Hearn escaped first: “Whatever you want, more, if you want?”

Shalom replied: “I know that Eddie knows, he just gave me 100,000 pounds.”

Hearn was not one of the withdrawal, adding: “Not at all. We can have a larger plant. Tomorrow morning we can have 1 million pounds, in a deposit … during the fight. “

Slightly taken by this offer Shalom continued: “Are you going to put 1 million pounds on Connor Benn? Listen, he is [Hearn] He got billions, inherited a lot of money. “

Sensing the opportunity to land his own excavation on the opposite number, Hearn finished his head, saying, “Listen, this is the first real thing you said all day.”

He comes from a busy week of press conferences, and Shalom previously accused Benna’s camp of agreeing only to fight as a cash grip.

Speaking at a press conference, he said: “130,000 people in the waiting room [for tickets]. I’ve never seen it for pre -sale. The largest event this year.

“I have to ask when Eddie says that they did not do it for money, it is clearly for money, it is clearly a payment, these are clearly two fights. Probably the last two CONOR’s career fights.

“But this will be the biggest fight in the last two decades in British boxing.”

Benn and Eubank Jr will enter the ring at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26.

Chris Eubank Jr was hit on a huge fine of 426,000 pounds for weighing firmation above the 160 pounds weight limit for his very anticipated fight with Conor Bennem. The boxer will pay a mega price for the lack of a inheritance below the strict limit for official weighing.

Eubank maintained that everyone was waiting for about an hour before he got to the scales. Benn, who jumps two weight divisions to face his fierce rival, weighed 156.4 pounds, almost four pounds under the mass border. However, when Eubank finally arrived at his own weighing, he first entered 160.2 pounds. With the second attempt, its weight was 160.05 pounds. The 35-year-old will pay a fine of 426,000 pounds for not meeting this requirement, a clause inserted into a battle contract.

Cameras were not allowed in official weighing, but the ceremonial counterpart will take place later that evening. Boxers who have many times had to be separated during the accumulation will fight tomorrow at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Eubank Jr and Benn will enter the scales again tomorrow around 8 am, less than 12 hours before the meeting at the famed premiere. No warrior can come at a speed of over 170 pounds in the morning with the hydration clause, and Eubank Jr revealed that he would receive a fine of 750,000 pounds if he did.

Benn, fighting with a lot of his career at a weight level of 147 pounds, said that it is easier to achieve weight. In his last fight, a unanimous decision about points on Peter Dobson in February 2024. The 28-year-old weighed just over 150 pounds.

The fight takes place three years after planning the original date. However, Benn obtained a positive result in terms of forbidden substance and was removed only to fight in Great Britain in November last year. The assembly was combined with brutal throwing over his career at fiery press conferences, and Eubank Jr broke the egg in the face of a rival in February.

This prompted his father, Chris Eubank SR, to call for his disqualification.

Both of their fathers, Eubank SR and Nigel Benn, were very successful boxers and divided the infamous competition in the 1990s. Eubank SR won their original fight by TKO in 1990, before three years later they hit a draw.

The Eubank SR boxing icon criticized the labeling of the upcoming event as a “older fight”, insisting that he does not want any connection with the actions of both warriors. Speaking with the sun, the 58-year-old said: “So my son breaks the egg on Conor’s face. Do you want me to be associated? This is what you call her heritage? This is not a heritage. This is not a heritage. This is not a heritage. [action] draws in the boxing game that she would have [had] Disqualifying the effect in my time.

“Nobody differs from Conor. The man says as if he was a drunk drunk. From the boxing point of view, and the fighters here (Groves and Eubank) actually supported it if the junior fights only three times in three years, and if Conor fought only three times in three years, it’s sizzling air.”

Chris Eubank SR’s Feud with Son explained and why he wants to cancel Conor Benn Fight

Chris Eubank SR did not hide his opposition to his son’s fight with Conor Bennem on Saturday, calling for a showdown to scrap. After playing an instrumental role in the development of Chris Eubanka Jr in a square circle, Eubank’s senior Eubank was once a ubiquitous presence in the Junior’s Corner corner, issuing advice and using his extensive experience from his own time as a two -time world champion.

However, from 2019 he was noticeably absent in his son’s boxer’s career. Thinking about dynamics with the father, said Eubank Jr Mirror fight Last year: “There is no role that is quite crazy, because for a huge part of my career he was a huge part of everything, the business side, press conferences, training … He was always there, and now he is not on any of them.”

Delving into the reasons for moving away from the influence of my father, the 35-year-old added: “I had to make this passage. I had to get out of this cycle because I felt that it did not work and as my own man, I learned enough and did enough in the game to walk my own path and not follow someone else.

“At the moment he has problems with separating business, boxing and coaching from being only my dad. For so many reasons that he was my dad, so when there is no, he doesn’t know what to do, that’s what he is dealing with.

“I think it will take me from boxing to come back to my life. I hope it is not, but I see it. I appreciate everything he did and everything he taught me throughout my life and career, but I want to be my man and that’s what I do now.”

The death of brother Eubanka Jra, Sebastian, in 2021 “also destroyed a gigantic role” of the already tense relationship of Pugilist with his father. Sebastian died in 2021 after a heart attack in Dubai, and Eubank Jr told the breast of Morgan, as it influenced his relationship with his dad.

He said: “You have a situation when my brother leaves. It influenced him deeply – it affected us all. Mental health is true. This incident, combined with the fact that we have not seen the eye anymore, destroyed a gigantic part of the relationship. And it still does not seem to recover.”

Meanwhile, the decision of Eubank Jr to continue her family’s legacy by facing Benn, like the eminent feud of their fathers in the 90s, did not succumb to Eubank Srowik, and now the 58-year-old won the title of WBO Middle Humidly after defeating Nigel Benn by the ninth round of TKO in 1990.

However, the disapproval of Eubank SR does not result from their historical competition, but from a significant difference in weight class between his son and Nigel. Because most of the Eubank JR career spent in Middle Wweight and Benn’s reputation grow in the category of lighter welterweight, there is a significant difference in size.

The upcoming fight on Saturday will take place in 160 pounds, with a strict hydration clause that forbids or a boxer gaining over 10 pounds before the night of fighting, but Eubank SR still has powerful fears. He said: “The rules are that you don’t do the wrong weight.

“Weights are fighting for the same weights.” He added: “They break the rules. And when you break the rules, we have a country of peacocks. It’s Great Britain. We have developed boxing. So stick to the rules.”

Despite the emotional branch of olives from Eubank Jr, it seems unlikely that his dad participates in his fight on Saturday evening. Elsewhere at Morgan’s uncertainty, he insisted: “I am here. I am preparing for the biggest fight in my life.

“If you want to be next to me, like his father next to him, we can do it together. If not, without massive feelings, I will do a job for you – do not worry about it. He is my vintage man. It does not matter if I only talk to him only on the day I die. I will always love him. He taught me everything. He doesn’t want to fight.”

Recently, there has been positive achievements in their rocky relationship, meeting at the party’s fight last month. Eubank SR said at that time Ring magazine: “The moment was significant. I love my son, just like I love all my children.

“Seeing him again, I could say that he grew up. On his face there is wisdom and an attitude that was not before. No matter what happened, I will always have JR back.”
