Eubank Jr, who closed the corners with the Saunders for the British medium weight title in 2014, will face Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26.

The couple almost came to a blow at a press conference in Manchester last month, after “next gene” He hit his younger opponent in the face of an egg.

“The last one looked a bit elderly, we should say, and do not forget that Eubank is not such a boxer to get for his stab, gain a nice advantage, employ the work of the legs.

“He was in some scraps and was in good scraps with not the best opponents, but they still gave him a good job.

“I just think that if Conor catches him cleanly and can take one of them good shots, as if Liam Smith’s shot, I think Conor Benn knocked him out.”

Although “Bjs” and Eubank Jr closed the corners over a decade ago, there is still a lot of hostility between them and the rematch has long been discussed.

However, a man from Hertfordshire was not packed since Canelo Alvarez detained in 2021 and despite returning to the ring, which was irritated several times, at this stage looks unlikely.

Oleksandr Usyk makes the final decision of Daniel Dubois Rewangj as a huge fight “finalized”

Published

on

Oleksandr Uyk and Daniel Dubois can be set to an explosive rematch in July, and negotiations on the lucrative second fight are approaching the end. According to Ring magazineThe undisputed clash in weighty weight is planned for July 12 at the Wembley stadium.

Promoter Frank Warren admitted that discussions are underway regarding the unquestioned heavyweight struggle, although no details are finalized at that time. “There were conversations, but nothing has been done yet. Nothing at the moment. The conversation is ongoing and I hope it will come true,” said Warren Talksport. He acts as requested to the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at the beginning of April, applying for a permission to fight before he faces the momentary champion Joseph Parker.

WBO ordered Utyk to face the Parker in defense of his WBA, WBO and WBC titles, while the International Boxing Federation (IBF) requires Dubois to set his belt on the line against Derek Chisorie until April 22. But the first seems that he intends to go to the undisputed crown.

If the exemption is approved, this would eliminate the need to plan these two fights before Usyk-Dubois 2. Gustavo Olivieri, president of WBO, said Sky Sports: “A petition for the union of Usyk-Dubois in order to consolidate heavyweight championships is before the championship.

“Therefore, according to the official ruling in this case, we will publicly announce the official decision, including the mandatory status of Parker, if so.”

Two fighters recently collided in August 2023, when the Ukrainian provided victory over Dubois in Poland – maintaining an invincible run and holding the titles. However, this was not without disputes, because one of Dubois’s blows is questioned by the judge as a low blow.

Then Usyk triumphed over Tyson Fury to become the first undisputed world champion in Lennox Lewis in May last year.

However, due to the consent to the rematch from the Fury, he resigned from IBF – which Dubois, a former momentary owner, won during Downing Anthony Joshua.

With a flawless record of 23-0, Usyk will again be a favorite of a potential rematch. However, Dubois has only one other professional loss that was against Joe Joyce in 2020.

If he were to win, the 27-year-old would win the title of world champion in weighty weight. Although, as Usyk found out last year, it is easier to keep this nickname in the newfangled era.

For now, the WBO Championship Committee has not made a decision, leaving boxing enthusiasts impatiently waiting for confirmation of this expected heavyweight title.

Both men enjoyed success from the first meeting, and Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion with the victory over Tyson Fury, and Dubois himself collected the title of IBF, knocking over Anthony Joshua in five rounds in September.
