Conor Benn will fight Chris Eubank Jr. With the British Board of Control license, Promoter Eddie Hearn said on Thursday at a press conference.

Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KO) and Benn (23-0, 14 KO) met at the second press conference during so many days in London after the explosive first meeting, when Eubank Jr. He hit the eggs on his opponent’s face.

Although there was no physical contact between them, many words were mentioned, and Hearn confirms that Benn would receive a BBBOFC license for fighting.

Benn was lost to his license after a failed drug test before the original planned meeting against Eubank Jr.

WBC later said that egg pollution was the “most likely cause” of the result. Benn always maintained his innocence.

There were two years of legal battles before Benn was cleaned for fighting in Great Britain by the British anti -doping agency in November.

This paved the way so that the couple could finally meet at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London on April 26, without losing love between fighters.

Eubank Jr. He doubled his feat from Tuesday and was nicely scanned with the “egg detector” when he went out on stage.

“I throw an egg … I think this lithe and it deserved. He deserved to embarrass what happened, “said Eubank Jr.

“Unfortunately, I come unarmed today. I couldn’t sneak anything. It is seriously a real fight, it will be a blood bath, like the first between our fathers. “

Eubank Sr. And Nigel Benn met twice in the 1990s in the legendary British boxing competition.

Eubank Jr. He also clashed with Benn Sr. At the upper table, after Nigel was seen by the throat during Tuesday melee.

“I understand frustration and warmly after you put my hand on my neck and I intend to translate because of what happened,” said Eubank Jr.

“But I want to inform you, if you put your hand on me again, you won’t get her back.”

Conor Benn replied: “Close lips f ——- You threaten my dad again watch what is happening to you.”

Eubank Jr. He was in good shape at a press conference, which means that fighters from the card from their planned fight in 2022 would lose their money due to the appeal.

“Undercard, there were many fighters who went through the whole camps and the camps are not low-cost … These fighters paid for their camps and never received compensation,” said Eubank Jr.

“From my purse for this fight I will give 50,000 pounds to fighters on this undercard to divide between them, to cover some of the losses they suffered.

“I will say that one thing is I hope that Eddie and transform their own 50,000.”

Hearn answered, saying that all fighters had other duels “immediately”.

Image: Filip Hrgovic Says Dave Allen Has “Loser Mentality”

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.

If Oleksandr Usyk loses to Verhoeven, he will immediately be stripped of his world title

Oleksandr Usyk will immediately be stripped of world title if he loses to Verhoeven

The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.

The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.

The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.

The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:

1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.

2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.

After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.

Shakur Stevenson not in a hurry to face O'Shaquie Foster.

Some praised Foster’s conditioning and predicted a good performance against Ford, while others doubted whether the WBC super featherweight champion would pull too much weight before the defense.

Foster rarely receives as much attention as some of the bigger names in the lower weight classes, but a viral photo has brought him back into the conversation online. Fans debated whether Ford would be able to handle Foster’s strength and physicality after moving from featherweight to fighting.

The fight was already generating attention due to the Houston setting and the tension between the two fighters online, but Foster’s photo from training sparked even more discussion about the DAZN card. Houston fans are expected to turn out in immense numbers for the event at the Fertitta Center, which will be one of the biggest hometown shows of Foster’s career.

Foster gained more attention after his victory over Stephen Fulton, with many fans hoping he would stay at lightweight and continue pushing for a fight with Shakur Stevenson.

Instead, Foster returned to 130 pounds, and talk of fighting Stevenson gradually died down.

A powerful performance against Ford could change that quickly, especially if Foster delivers the kind of performance fans now expect after seeing the state he appears to be in heading into the fight.
