Promoter Eddie Hearn is sure that Conor Benn will win by early knockout against medium weight Chris Eubank Jr. in the 12-round headliner on Dazn PPV for 10 days on April 26. Hearn says that Benn (23-0, 14 KO) will win because he is “much better” than Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KO) and trains like a beast.
Eubank JR-Benn will fight before a vast crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London. Hearn thinks Benn will immediately follow Eubank Jr., wanting to get a quick knockout.
Borders of Benna
28 -year -old Benn will have to raise his game to beat Eubank Jr. because he did not look the same in the last two fights compared to how he performed earlier. In the years 2019–2022 Conor looked like the future world champion. But from the time he returned from his dismissal in 2023, he worked on insignificant victories on Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco. In both fights Benn was forced to a distance.
“Conor trains like an animal in every camp, but this camp is different. In this camp he appeared at the cut,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor Stamping groundWhen discussing his warrior, Conor Benn’s readiness to his match with a pretender to medium weight Chris Eubank Jr. In 10 days April 26 in London. “Do I expect it to win? Of course.”
For Benn to win against Eubank Jr., he will need something more than training like an animal. He will need talent and explosive power that he once had, which has disappeared since 2023. Hearn did not discuss the plan B for Conor’s career if he loses this fight.
Of course, he can return to the welterweight department, but there is no success guarantee. Due to the fact that he fought with Dobson and Orozco, Benn had no chance against the welterweight master Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Brian Norman Jr. and Mario Barrios. If he focuses on Benn that he has received a great day of payment, Hearn can organize a shot in the title of world champion. He would not deserve to fight for the title of world champion if Eubank Jr lost, but this would not stop him from fighting.
“I also know how challenging and hazardous this fight is. He is [Benn] Leaving two weight activities to fight a much larger man, but he is a guy who is much better than, “said Hearn, telling what Conor is against the fight against Eubank in medium weight. “This is reality.” A guy he trains much more than. I think he is a guy he wants much more than. “
Ceiling at the national level
Benn has a built -in excuse if he loses. He may blame this for moving two weight classes to fight a larger, more experienced warrior at the age of 160. His fans will be warm and will not be too much on him. However, if Conor decides to continue to fight the opposition at a low level in 147, he will be concealed and will be perceived as a warrior at the national level, which is ignored by non-Brits.
“I know that Eubank will be ready for this fight. This means a lot to him, but Conor must start this fight quickly and early, and if he does, I believe that he wins this fight through a knockout in six rounds. Eubank was brilliant in accumulation. He is a character.
“He has people who tell him what to say, and I believe that he will be in the form next week. This noise at the Tottenham stadium. It will be epic, and you know how Conor is fighting. He will not come out and he will not feel.
Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.
Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.
Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.
Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.
“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.
“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.
“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”
Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.
The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.
It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.
Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.
“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.
“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.
“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”
While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
