Boxer Chris Eubank Jr AND Conor Benn He had to be demolished by safety in the studio, because the temperament expanded over the incident with throwing an egg and the celebrated father Benn.
Two brutal bodyguards intervened when the rivals set off for an earlier feat with the participation of an egg thrown out by Eubank Jr at a press conference, during which the boxer Nigel Benn entered.
When everything became nasty, furious Benn told his opponent: “We can have it outside. No problem … I think I will crash, threatening my tattors. Do you think I’m playing games? [Don’t] Have you ever talked to my dad? “
The interview, because of tomorrow’s evening on YouTube, began a brittle beginning when the couple argued about the unsuccessful drug test Benn and their growth in April. But the bitter feud boiled when Piers asked about the legend of Nigel Benn’s boxing, protecting his son during the last press conversation.
In the clip published tonight, Piers asked: “Your dad [Benn] he intervened with throwing an egg and I put in, I think, on yours [Eubank Jr] Throat and at the second press conference you basically threatened Nigel Benn said: If he did it again, you can handle it. “
Chris Eubank Jr replied: “It was not a threat, it was a promise.”
Conor Benn later added: “You are simply nervous that your dad cannot endure you and my dad has my back.”
Eubank Jr replied: “I and you fight, whatever is happening between us, happens. No one else can touch me, because if so, they will be consequences. “
Benn: “consequences what? If I hit you now, what are you going to do? … Don’t talk about my dad … “
After throwing his opponent, he added: “Fuck, talking about my dad … what the fuck do you look at? Come, we can have it outside, no problem. Yes, we can. I think I’m crashing, threatening my tattors. Do you think I’m playing games? [Don’t] Have you ever talked to my dad? “
Eubank Jr added: “This is a fight, kid.”
Incensed Benn said, “Have you heard what I said? We will meet outside. “
“Every time you want a kid,” Eubank Jr. answered
Asked by Piers if he thought he was not respected to threaten the legendary boxer, Benn added: “It is extremely disrespect,” and Eubank Jr finished: “The guy put my hands around my neck … It was an egg, no one can put my hand on me … I have to spend a warning.”
Piers Morgan Uncened – Eubank Jr & Benn on their celebrated dads – “it would be great to see your dad in your corner”
Boxers Chris Eubank Jr AND Conor Benn He went towards Studio P during the April fight. But despite the fact that the interview became so sizzling that they had to be separated by security, Benn revealed that he would like to see the alienated dad Eubank Jr in the corner of his rival.
Watch a full interview at YouTube channel On Friday, March 14 from 19:00.
Asked what news Eubank Jr had for his legend of boxing, a father who is alienated from his son, said: “I’m here. I am preparing for the biggest fight in my life. If you want to be next to me, like his father next to him, we can do it together. If not, without ponderous feelings, I will do a job for you, don’t worry about it … He is my senior man. It doesn’t matter if I talk to him until the day I will die. I will always love him. He taught me everything … As far as I know, I don’t want this fight to go forward. “
Saying the breast that he was awarded from his father for “several years”, he explained how the split began. He said a special edition: “It reached the stage where I had to completely get out of the shadows. This is a great shadow … I realized that I have to separate from this great character that is always next to me. He is different, his father allowed him to do his own and something like, you know, jump and sink or swim. My senior man has always been, always next to me. I got to the stage where I decided that I had to follow my own path. He was not satisfied with this decision. This is the beginning. Then you have a situation in which my brother died, which influenced him deeply, influenced us all … Mental health is true. This incident, combined with the fact that we had no longer seen the eye, destroyed a huge part of the relationship and unfortunately it did not seem to recover. “
Despite the fact that he called him an “idiot” during their crazy studio clash, Benn, who has close relationships with his own father, warrior Nigel Benn, admitted that he would like to see Eubank SR during the fight.
He said, “My dad loves me. Regardless of the fact that my dad is proud of me, the relationship I have with my dad is out of boxing. It’s humorous because my dad is not really, my dad does not really care about what I do in my career. My dad cares more about me as a man and my happiness … My dad is my hero. “
Benn added: “It’s a matter of the fact that your dad doesn’t like you, otherwise it would be here … But I’m trying to tell you that it would be nice to see your dad in your corner. I am fine, because at the moment I think that I will knock you out. The matter of fact again. I’m not saying that being humorous, your dad believes in it, it is.
“But really, again, you can think I’m sarcastic. We are where we are because of our daddies. They put the foundation. We are like our daddies. We are a double and coal copy of our fathers. It would be great to see your dad in your corner, and you will fix this relationship, and whatever came between you, it would be great to see and I mean that it comes from my heart without being sarcastic. I mean what I say.
Eubank Jr said, “It’s tough to believe … I have to be careful, I don’t want you to pull me in here.”
David Benavidez looks to become a three-belt cruiserweight world champion in December, but whilst many fans hope to see him face Jai Opetaia in the fight that follows, there is another world champion whom ‘The Mexican Monster’ could potentially meet in 2027.
An official announcement is expected imminently for a December 5 showdown between Benavidez and WBC cruiserweight champion Michael Cieslak – with Opetaia mandated to take on the victor of that contest.
Meanwhile, another Benavidez target, Dmitry Bivol, is poised to take on Callum Smith on December 12 and then partake in a rubber match with Artur Beterbiev in Russia in 2027.
However, speaking with Inside The RingBenavidez revealed that Beterbiev has reached out to his team for a shot at cruiserweight honours, before confirming that he will give the 41-year-old Canadian-Russian exactly ‘what he wants’.
“Beterbiev has definitely reached out to our team and he has been actively trying to make that fight. So, we are going to give him exactly what he wants.
“I respect Beterbiev, he is like 45 years old so the fact that he is calling me out is why I have a lot of respect for him!
“That is a great fight for the public.”
Beterbiev hasn’t fought since he came up short in his undisputed light heavyweight title rematch with Bivol in February 2025, and could now look to move up to 200lbs in a bid to get active once again.
As for Opetaia, his mandatory position could be negated if his lawsuit against the IBF is successful and he is reinstated as their world champion, or if the winner of Benavidez-Cieslak decides to vacate the WBC world title during the aftermath.
However, should the Aussie be reinstated as a three-time IBF cruiserweight world champion, Benavidez would presumably still pursue the fight in a bid to fulfil his dream of becoming undisputed at cruiserweight.
Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson are reportedly in negotiations ahead of a potential showdown in November, and newly-crowned WBA lightweight champion Floyd Schofield, who has sparred both men, has cast his verdict on how the fight may play out.
Last week, WBO welterweight world champion Haney and WBO super-lightweight titleholder Stevenson publicly agreed to a 145lb catchweight affair after weeks of back and forth on social media.
It is understood that, should it happen, Haney’s world title would be up for grabs and that no rehydration clause would be included in the fight contract – something which Stevenson had been keen for when they were last in talks for a clash.
Speaking with Sean ZittelSchofield – who defeated Lucas Bahdi to get his hands on the WBA 135lb world title on Saturday – admitted that he is favouring Haney to come out on top.
“We would have to wait and see on fight night. I think that there is different things that both of them do good, I feel like it would just be a real technical fight.
“I think that I would favour Devin because, even though he is not a crazy power-puncher, we have seen how he was able to put Brian Norman Jr. on the floor – that is something we haven’t seen before.
“The reach, the size, the boxing skill [makes me favour Devin].”
It is believed that the target fight date for Haney-Stevenson is Saturday, November 28in Atlanta, for what could be one of the biggest boxing events of the 2026 calendar.
Jai Opetaia’s proposed fight with Deontay Wilder looks like a mismatch between a prime cruiserweight and a 40-year-old former champion with four defeats in his last seven fights. Dana White wants to sell Wilder’s punching power, but selling his ability to survive Opetaia’s speed and combination punching is another story entirely.
White says that Opetaia looks set for the Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua undercard on December 11 in Cardiff, naming Wilder as an active target. The bout remains unconfirmed.
“Jai Opetaia is more than likely going to be on the undercard. [Wilder] is one that we’ve been talking about and working on,” White said to Sky Sports. “The guy’s willing to fight anybody.”
White labeled the pairing “a very dangerous fight for him considering where he sits in his division right now.”
That view leans heavily on Wilder’s signature right hand while glossing over his recent slide. Now 40, Wilder has dropped four of his last seven outings. His stature rests on past triumphs, whereas this assignment requires coping with Opetaia’s modern rhythm, quick feet, and fluid combinations.
Raw power guarantees Wilder a puncher’s chance, yet that alone will not keep him in the contest. He must locate openings, release his shots under fire, and withstand incoming heat. Against Opetaia, every phase of that task presents real trouble.
Opetaia creates angles rather than standing stationary to absorb incoming fire. If Wilder hesitates, the Australian will bank rounds, land heavy volume, and leave the audience waiting on a counter that never lands.
The commercial upside for Opetaia makes complete sense. Wilder brings global brand value, so defeating him on a massive stadium platform elevates the Australian’s profile while placing a former heavyweight titleholder on his ledger.
Still, any victory carries context. Overcoming a faded veteran provides little indication of how Opetaia might handle the heavyweight division’s elite.
Promoters can market the sudden threat of one clean shot, but every boxing fundamental tilts toward Opetaia.
