George Groves says that there is no “continuation” between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Bennem. In the fight, which was disturbed by controversies – from Eubank Jr striking his opponent to Chris Eubank SR publicly condemning the competition due to their divergence on weight – “Next Gen” ensured a comfortable unanimous victory over the opponent.

Two hell on the skin for 12 rounds, leaving all the questions, which is really a more qualified warrior between them, while the Tottenham Hotspur stadium watched the action in the body, and millions of others adapted to watching on television around the world. And although she talked about two Pugilists who are running away again this year, Groves is not convinced that he needs this sport. Speaking only to Express.co.uk by Lottoland, BettingThe former world champion in Super Niezddleight said: “Chris Eubank vs. Conor Benn is a trick, they fought only because their fathers did 30 years ago.

“They are in different weight classes, at various stages of their career, but the fight sold, so it happened. It will not lend a hand any of them in rankings or title classes.

“Still, he had a glorious accumulation, every drama you could. They both gave everything at night. It was a good fight. Now they talk about a rematch. I think, why?

“They left nothing unanswered. You don’t need a continuation. If the boxing is guided by the random path, ad hoc fights without any direction, then the sport will be threatened. Not because of Jake Paul, but because the newborn, half -life confessions, they can choose fame or effortless money – go to the love island, win the British title, win the British title, then fight the title KSI card – as well as fighting European fights.

He comes when Eubank Jr noticed that at some point this year there would be a rematch, allowing him to build a 10 million pounds for a purse, which he saw after the fight with Benne in April. He said CEO diary Podcast: “Contracts, this is on paper.

“It is very likely that the fight will repeat itself at some point this year. I want what fans want. If the fans want to see who to refuse? The demand for this fight Conor Benn is now at the highest level, so I feel that this is the fight for the next one.”

Meanwhile, the promoter of Matchroom, Eddie Hearn, said Sky Sports of Matters: “I know on September 27, back in Spurs, is the date on which he [Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh] He issued and proposed. We’re really ready.

“We signed a contract for two fights. Conor desperate wants to escape him. He feels as if he improves this fight. [It was] His first fight for 14, 15 months, at 160 pounds. Listen, they only provided us with a night that we will never forget in many ways. And both warriors deserve so much loans. We would like to escape it. “

However, boxing purists agree with Groves that Eubank should direct his attention in the chasing glory of the world championships, taking into account his 35 years and went in the years of his boxing career. Next Gen has twice maintained the title of Super Middle in IBO weight, as well as a strap in the weight of the average organization during his career.

Conah Walker returns to the ring next weekend and will face Sam Eggington.

The winner of the Walker vs. Eggington fight may have a chance to win the welterweight world title.

Since the defeat in 2024, “Wolf” has been in excellent form, boasting an impressive series of four victories in the season, the last three of which ended by knockout.

The last defeat in the career of the Wolverhampton fighter came at the hands of the current IBF world champion Lewis Crocker.

He overcame “The Croc” the distance and, in many people’s eyes, was unlucky not to receive recognition on the judges’ scorecards, which showed a unanimous victory for the Irishman.

He returned just two months after this defeat and in Birmingham he faced Lewis Ritson, whom he defeated over the distance.

Walker was the underdog against Harry Scarff in Nottingham and lost most, if not all, of the rounds until the 11th round before landing a series of punches in the penultimate round that forced the referee to stop the fight.

In his last fight, “The Wolf” was once again the clear underdog, beating Olympic silver medalist Pat McCormack in Monaco.

Walker performed well throughout the fight, but fell on two judges’ scorecards before the final round.

The Wolverhampton player took the ball out of the bag and scored a dramatic goal in the last round.

He will face Sam Eggington, a tough opponent also from the West Midlands.

Eggington’s last defeat was to former world champion Abass Baraou, who defeated him by majority vote.

Since then, he has had wins over Alan Velazquez and Lee Cutler.

“The Savage” was injured in his last fight against Cutler and the injury forced the referee to stop the fight early, so he is hopeful that the fight will not be restarted against Walker.

Tyson Fury’s immediate reaction to the fight with Anthony Joshua after signing the contract

Tyson Fury was apparently left speechless when he finally reacted to Anthony Joshua agreeing on the terms of meeting him in the ring. Joshua has signed a multi-fight deal to make his comeback, starting with a fight against little-known Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on July 25.

If Joshua escapes unscathed, he will face Fury in November, most likely at Wembley, and the fight will be streamed on Netflix. After the announcement, Fury took to social media, posting only an eye emoji in response. The 37-year-old is currently recovering from his own fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov two weeks ago, which Fury won on points.

After the fight, the former Olympic champion urged Joshua to join him in the Tottenham ring, but his rival refused. Fury claimed he had already signed a contract to fight Joshua, with whom he had been on a collision course for a decade.

However, Joshua has yet to do the same, and his rival has made it clear that if the fight falls through, he will retire from the sport for good.

“If it’s not Anthony Joshua next time, I’m not interested in boxing,” Fury insisted. “I’ll eat a thousand Easter eggs, get to 35 stone and leave, I’m not interested. It’s either him or I’m gone again. Right now I’m only interested in AJ. It’s the most significant fight for British boxing; either it happens or it doesn’t.

“He was brought to the ring for a reason, to enter the ring, confront and end the fight,” he added. “He was very evasive and didn’t give any definitive answers.

“I know one thing, he didn’t say yes.” In my opinion, he didn’t want to smoke. He didn’t look like he wanted it, he was just shocked and didn’t know what to say.

“He came to the ring to fight. If it were me, I would jump into that ring and face him. Ten years of preparation and yet, after all this time, there is still no certainty that this fight will be next.”

“I don’t want to set any deadlines. Either he wants to do it or he doesn’t. It’s now or never.”

However, Joshua has now put pen to paper, stating: “It’s no secret that I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready to get back into the ring, and today is the next step in that journey. I’m delighted to have agreed a multi-fight contract starting on July 25 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“I’m looking forward to competing and picking up where I left off. Like I said, the landlord will collect rent, that’s for sure.”
