If it could be expected that Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn, and indeed that their promoters Ben Shalom and Eddie Hearn offended each other, respectively, it was a surprise when Benn claimed that his rival was owed to the football of Neymar 4 million pounds.

More and more bitter rivals were to meet on Tuesday evening in Manchester, England to promote the date of April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur London stadium. First, they agreed to fight in 2022, until Benn did not tested positive for the prohibited CLomifene substance.

28 -year -old Benn consistently maintained his innocence, but after his career stopped in a consequence, they became again in Riyjad in Saudi Arabia, on the occasion of the victory of Eubank Jnr nad Kamil Sherremeet, realizing that their fight was probably the fight to be the fight next.

Since then, it has been confirmed that they would fight in medium weight – Benn was founded in a welterweight when they agreed to fight the weight of 157 pounds in 2022 – but before their departure from the kingdom that night Eubank Jnr was attached to the ring by Neymar Jnr, International Brazil considered one of the leading players in the world until they moved to playing in a slightly recognized Saudi Pro League.

It is also known that 35-year-old Eubank Jnr and Neymar played poker together, but Benn, speaking on the highest table of a press conference, surprised those present when he said: “He is an idiot. He owes Neymar four million quid – that’s why he took this fight. So don’t say shit.

“I said that he owes Neymar four million quid [$5,068,000] – You didn’t hear? So don’t talk to me about Bollocks. That’s why you took this fight. And soon you become unconscious for this. You are hungry for money – – This is the only reason. “

Eubank Jnr revealed that his readiness to agree to the hydration clause, which meant that they could weigh no more than 170 pounds in the morning of their fight, was financially motivated. He again marked Benna “fraud” – reference to his unsuccessful drug tests, this is not a perceived advantage or unfavorable weight – before he seemed to hit him, holding the egg when they stood face to face at the request of a press conference at the end of the press conference.

Inevitably the fighters had to be separated. Equally inevitable Benn later published in social media: “This is the only shot that you will land on me, a fucking cock. Two rounds that you are finished. “

By the way, 33 -year -old Neymar left the Saudi Pro League in January to return to Brazil at the end of 17 disappointing months.

Canelo vs Mbilli Preview

Canelo has been here many times before, but this latest assignment comes with a different kind of pressure.

The Mexican has dominated the super middleweight division for years, collecting world titles and facing some of the biggest names in boxing. However, his most recent defeat means another loss would leave serious questions about how much longer he can compete at the highest level.

Mbilli has everything to gain. The unbeaten contender has built his reputation on aggression, power and a willingness to trade punches. He now faces a former pound-for-pound king who has spent years dealing with opponents determined to take his place.

The supporting card also features former world champion Jaime Munguia against unbeaten Nikita Zon, while Rafael Espinoza defends his WBO featherweight championship against Ricardo Blandon.

David Picasso meets unbeaten Carl Jammes Martin for the WBC Silver featherweight title, with Reito Tsutsumi, Bek Nurmaganbet and several other unbeaten prospects also appearing on the card.

For Canelo, victory keeps his championship ambitions alive. For Mbilli, beating the Mexican superstar would be the biggest result of his career.

Can Christian Mbilli Shock the Boxing World and Force Canelo into Retirement?

"Can Christian Mbilli Shock the Boxing World and Force Canelo into Retirement?"

The former two-time undisputed super-middleweight world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) is a legend and a future Hall of Famer, but on Saturday night, October 31st, will the WBC champion Christian Mbilli send Canelo into retirement?

This world title bout is an intriguing matchup because it features Canelo’s skill set versus Mbilli’s work rate. The action is set to take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, airing live on DAZN PPV.

Back in June 2025, Christian Mbilli stopped Maciej Sulecki in the first round and won the WBC title. Three months later, Mbilli was involved in a hard-fought battle as his bout against Lester Martinez resulted in a split draw.

Going into this fight, the defending champion Christian Mbilli is the underdog. Despite the odds being against him, Mbilli has the opportunity to defeat the great Canelo Alvarez and send him into retirement.

Losing a fight is rare, but it’s not new to Canelo. What would be new is for him to lose this upcoming bout because it will mark the first time Canelo ever suffered back-to-back losses.

Suffering consecutive defeats could push Alvarez towards retirement. It’s a bold statement, and due to the statement, one would ask: what is Christian Mbilli’s path to victory?

Christian Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs) is a determined, physical, and hungry world champion. He’s facing a tall task, but his path to victory is his aggression and his punch volume.

The 31-year-old Mbilli has incredible endurance, which allows him to constantly press forward and attack the body and head of his opponent. Alvarez has experienced stamina issues in the past, so outworking and outlasting Alvarez is Mbilli’s clear path to victory.

On the flip side, if the 36-year-old Canelo Alvarez has anything left in the tank, then this bout could be tailor-made for him due to the fact that Mbilli will be standing right in front of him.
In the past, Alvarez has done really well against opponents who lack movement and footwork. With Mbilli posting up in a neutral position and constantly in attack mode, Canelo will have many counterpunching opportunities.

Canelo will have his chances in regards to landing the left hook, the uppercut, and shots to the body. Speaking of body punches, those types of shots are a big part of Mbilli’s arsenal, and it will be interesting to see if he can consistently land shots to Canelo’s body.

Styles make fights, and that’s why the Canelo vs Mbilli fight will be an action-packed event. However, the question is, on Halloween night, will Canelo be sent into retirement, or will he take a step towards one last run at becoming undisputed once again?
