WBN told Khan that the contracted rehydration clause Eubank equalized the fight for a welterweight. The man from Bolton agreed, but says that such details do not matter when the fight is so good.
“Let’s be candid, nobody thought it would be such a fight. A great respect for both warriors. What a fight was, everyone was on the verge of their sitting.
“I loved everything,” said the 38-year-old.
“I think that Eubank definitely exhausted him, a great time. He was not the same warrior we saw, but if he was, maybe it wasn’t the same fight. And what a fight it was.
“Nobody really cares for the weight when you see such a fight. It was good for boxing, especially in Great Britain, because the last few programs were not the best.
Competition Eubank Jr vs. Benn will continue this fall by a rematch, which promises to be the biggest fight in Great Britain in the latest memory.
As both men met earlier, the accumulation will be less heated, because warriors strive to prove their inflammation in the ring.
