“Freak Show” – Simon Jordan Slas Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn
Simon Jordan called the clash of Chris Eubanka Jr with Conor Benn as a “bizarre program.”
Eubank Jr will face Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26 in the superior of the average weight duel.
The couple were to fight in October 2022, only so that the fight was postponed for a week of fighting after Benn twice tested the prohibited substance of the clomifen.
After cleaning the national anti -doping panel to resume his career in November, the “destroyer” will transfer the weight class to face the Brighton man.
Jordan believes that Jordan believes that their fight generates interest only because of the heritage of their fathers, who fought twice in two classic battles in the 1990s.

“I do [think it’s nothing more than a freak show]Jordan said TalkSport.
“I think Chris is a charlatan at the world level.
“I think he does not accept the fight for the title of world champion, when he is the possibility of this and every time he approaches, he is defeated by the world title operator.
“I think Conor Benn, with all due respect to Conor and I like it [his father] Nigel and I like Conor, we never explained why drug tests were unsuccessful and the box should not tolerate it.
“In my opinion, there is a welterweight to earn, and Chris Eubank goes down to receive payment.
“The only reason he has bait is the activities of the world fighters that are their fathers.”
After the heated first press conference in Manchester, on Tuesday, Eubank Jr hit Benn in the face with an egg, causing a fight on stage, with safety forced to separate the couple.

Eubank JR decision to start the egg at his rival is based on WBC Benn’s formation in their rankings in February 2023 after the ruling that “highly convoluted egg consumption” was “a reasonable explanation of his unsuccessful drug tests.”
On Wednesday, a feudging couple was rejected on Wednesday, but on Thursday evening at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium stood face to face at the second press conference, where they kept them well.
The British boxing control council confirmed on Wednesday that the interrogation will take place after the incident, and Eubank Jr will probably be punished after a quarrel.
Frank Warren is promoting a Doncaster show for the first time in over thirty years, while Dave Allen is keen to disrupt the odds in his hometown.
Hrgovic will enter the competition as the clear favorite against Allen after his last victory in Saudi Arabia.
“El Animal” heads into the main event looking to burst the bubble of Allen, who is fighting in Doncaster for the first time in over 10 years.
Over the years, Hrgovic has competed at a higher level, with wins over Zhilei Zhang, Dempsey McKean and Joe Joyce.

He last saw action in the Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte match in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
The Croatian defeated David Adeleye on a huge scorecard, although he faced some adversity in the eighth round when the Briton reacted well after being dropped himself in the earlier round.
During the period in which Hrgovic did not fight, Allen fought twice, the first in October when he faced Tyson Fury’s last opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov. at the Sheffield Arena.
“The White Rhino” was outscored over 12 rounds, with the three judges scoring him 109-117, 110-116 and 111-115.
Allen returned four months later when he faced French heavyweight Karim Berredjem, whom he handled easily, stopping his fighter with a minute remaining in the first round.
Allen spoke to professional boxing fans after the pair faced off for the first time during fight week and admitted he was the underdog but was joyful for the opportunity.
“I can’t sit here and say I can beat him, but I know I can compete with him.
“You never really know because you might have a one night stand. I just need one night, like when Lucas Browne left his upper body to finish him off.”
“Or [when he won against] Nick Webb, if I hit any of them, it’s game over.
“So I’m going into this with a little more confidence, more confidence than I’ve ever had before.”
Prediction: Hrgovic will have to be at his best to avoid being dragged into the deep end like he was in the eighth round against Adeleye, but he should have enough points to score over the tough Allen.

Michael Gomez Jr. fight with Lee McGregor
Gomez Jr. wastes no time getting back into the ring. Just 46 days after his victory over Jordan Flynn, he returns to fight against the tough Lee McGregor.
He stopped Flynn in the third round of the fight, with the 30-year-old claiming he suffered a broken jaw.
This was Gomez Jr.’s first appearance. since his arrest by Reece Belotti last February.
He will be hoping to build on his recent win against McGregor, who has also fought just once since defeat last year.
McGregor most recently won a points decision over Emiliano Leonel Araujo in his first appearance since being stopped by Nathaniel Collins.
Prediction: Gomez Jr should have enough points to earn points over 10 rounds.
Undercard remaining

The fight will last 12 rounds. O’Doherty is coming off a 10th-round stoppage win over Regan Glackin, while Hatim won a unanimous decision over Liam Dillon last September.
Prediction: In a real 50-50 fight, O’Doherty could have the points advantage.
Dave Allen’s welterweight fighter, Joe Hayden, returns to action after an impressive second-round stoppage victory over James Atkins after his last fight, during which he won the first belts of his professional career.

He should have more than enough to beat Ryan Frost again in the later rounds, and Frost has defeated his last four opponents.
Exceptional prospects Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and Kian Hamilton return for the second professional appearance of their careers and both will impress. Each of them should win at the break.
Hull’s Ted Jackson returns to action against Mike Byles and should claim his seventh win since turning professional, while amateur standout Bradley Casey should remain undefeated in the cruiserweight division.
Leighton Birchall should stop Leonardo Baez early in the qualifiers, which will also feature Carl Fail.
Maxi Hughes was scheduled to challenge Lewis Sylvester, but the fight was canceled the week of the fight and “Maximus” withdrew for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.

The official record holder
Derek Chisora has gone back on his vow to retire and insists he will return for a rematch with Deontay Wilder.
Chisora was defeated by a split decision by Wilder last month at the O2 Arena.
The 42-year-old, who has fallen twice in the fight, previously announced he would end his 50-fight professional career regardless of the outcome.
However, the Londoner now claims he wants to secure a rematch with the ‘Brown Bomber’ after his wife allowed him to continue fighting.
“I’m working on a rematch,” he said Sky Sports News.
“My wife gave me the green featherlight, so I will do a rematch.
“I haven’t confirmed it yet.
“I have some meetings tomorrow [on Wednesday] and we’ll see how it goes.

“He [Wilder] he is interested because he is also upset about the outcome.
“Yes, he could have won, but he’s nervous, so we’re going to do it again.
“That’s all. [At the] I will retire at the end of this year.”
Wilder was hoping to secure a long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua, whom he called out after defeating Chisora.
40-year-old former world heavyweight champion passed by “AJ” after the fight and told him: “let’s do it.”
However, Joshua, who has not fought since knocking out Jake Paul in December, has opted to fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad and will then face Tyson Fury in November, provided he wins.
Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel stated that Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had not contacted them.
“You can’t be disappointed with something that never happened,” Finkel said Heavenly sports.
“Eddie never contacted us and Joshua obviously had no intention of fighting Deontay Wilder.
“Same ancient story, just fresh date.”
Joshua’s fight against Prenga is his first since defeating Paul and a fatal car crash that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
Fury, who retired last month and defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov, is now also expected to fight again before finally facing his British rival.
