Eddie Hearn is so confident that Conor Benn will defeat Chris Eubank Jr, that he is prepared to put 1 million pounds on the line.

Benn and Eubank Jr will go this year, and the couple started the press conference route this week as part of the fight.

It was a week of war, both from the relevant warriors and the promoters themselves.

In the last war, the words of the couple appeared, and Hearn challenges Eubank Jr, Ban Shalom, to a huge plant.

Approaching Shalom, when he was half of the IFLTV interface, Hearn was asked if he hugged his opposite man’s hand. He replied: “Yes, of course.”

Shalom added: “We are very good friends now” from Hearn – wearing a stone cool expression – he said: “Great friends.”

Then the interviewer decided to add a little fuel to the fire, asking the question: “Grand 100 pounds?” Invitation for a couple to put money where their lips are.

Hearn escaped first: “Whatever you want, more, if you want?”

Shalom replied: “I know that Eddie knows, he just gave me 100,000 pounds.”

Hearn was not one of the withdrawal, adding: “Not at all. We can have a larger plant. Tomorrow morning we can have 1 million pounds, in a deposit … during the fight. “

Slightly taken by this offer Shalom continued: “Are you going to put 1 million pounds on Connor Benn? Listen, he is [Hearn] He got billions, inherited a lot of money. “

Sensing the opportunity to land his own excavation on the opposite number, Hearn finished his head, saying, “Listen, this is the first real thing you said all day.”

He comes from a busy week of press conferences, and Shalom previously accused Benna’s camp of agreeing only to fight as a cash grip.

Speaking at a press conference, he said: “130,000 people in the waiting room [for tickets]. I’ve never seen it for pre -sale. The largest event this year.

“I have to ask when Eddie says that they did not do it for money, it is clearly for money, it is clearly a payment, these are clearly two fights. Probably the last two CONOR’s career fights.

“But this will be the biggest fight in the last two decades in British boxing.”

Benn and Eubank Jr will enter the ring at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

Post shared by Demsey McKean (@demsey.mckean)

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
