Nigel Benn did not hesitate claim that his son, Conor, will face Chris Eubank Jr in a rematch. Two rivals ended three years of bad blood with a brutal clash and coatings at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday evening, and Eubank Jr. Given the nod by all three judges as a result of 116-112.
While both boxers agreed to the rematch clause before the fight, 28 -year -old Benn quickly demanded to dispose of his first career defeat after the fight. The twelve penalty rounds could have been taking his toll for now, but in the result of Nigel he also developed plans so that his son would face 35 -year -old Eubank Jr.
“I thought he was doing really well,” Benn Snr said about his son. “He learned a lot from it and he would come back more. He worked too much on the ropes, he should have been out of ropes.
“We don’t take anything from Chris, it’s his night. We can deal with defeat gracefully. We’ll return to the drawing board.”
However, along with the welterweight Benn approaching the showroom of medium weight, Nigel said that the rematch should soon occur so that Benn could return to his former weight.
“You can’t go to 160 and then ponderous down to 147, and then return to 160” – he said. “Stay at the age of 160, make a rematch and then back to your weight. Then we will be ecstatic.”
Benn himself was in a reflective mood after defeat, after the original clash between the rivals was scraped after he did not pass the drug test.
“14 months the ring played,” he said. “Inactivity, except that I felt that it was a close fight, I will not say that I think I won, I would watch it back. I thought it was close. Maybe I stayed on the ropes too long. I liked it.
“It is arduous to swallow. I did not enter the fight, thinking that it would be so close, I did not come to lose or for nothing but victory. I want revenge.”
However, it was claimed that Eubank Jr and Benn could fight again in just five months. The head of boxing of Saudi Arabia Turki Alalshikh revealed that he had already allocated the date and place of continuation.
“If they are not injured and ready, we want a rematch at the end of September in Tottenham,” he said. “British fans were amazing and thank them.”
However, Ben is waiting to see what his path will come. He said: “We always knew that Chris is a good warrior. The whole fight fighting is a conversation. He is a good warrior. I believe that I can fight for 160.
“I would like to avenge this loss, but if we do not make a rematch, I want to go to the welterweight and win the WBC title, [Mario Barrios, the current WBC welterweight champion] Barrios or Eubank rematch. Whatever happens. “

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

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.
