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.

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.”
