Ricky Hatton is predicted by Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn
The British boxing legend Ricky Hatton considered his forecast of the rapidly approaching showdown between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Bennem.
Personal results will be settled when Eubank Jr and Benn lock the corners at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium April 26, In what is settled as one of the biggest fights ever took place on the British coasts.
Initially, it was only because of the competition of their fathers in the 1990s that there is real bad blood between the couple after building over two and a half years.
Benn, in welterweight, most of his career, will jump to two classes to accept “Next Gen” in medium weight, and many observers believe that the difference in size will prove to be a key factor.
Hatton revealed Sky SportsHowever, he is not one of them.

“I am friends with Nigel, friends with Conor, but many people favor Eubank a bit.
“Let’s be right, Conor is not in the box anywhere near the level of Chris or people that Chris fought for his own weight, not to mention the two scales above.
“But Chris will conquer a bit, last time he came up, he was knocked out by Liam Smith to support Conor.
“But knowing Nigel and Conor, like me, faith in himself, Conor has, he has this true faith, will and strives to win, so I think it can give him an advantage and I will go with Conor.”
Eubank and Benn were initially planned in October 2022, but this was postponed for a week of fighting due to the “destroyer returned by two positive VADA tests.
Gathering between two family rivals attracted the country’s attention, especially when Eubank hit his younger rival in the face of an egg after a heated press conference.
A man from Brighton was fined in the amount of 100,000 pounds by the British boxing control council for a feat, but this will be conveniently covered by an estimated eight -digit payment, which he will take home in a few weeks.
Dave Allen weighed slightly more than Filip Hrgovic ahead of Saturday’s heavyweight clash in Doncaster.
Allen will face Hrgovic at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster, live on DAZN.
The popular Doncaster competitor weighed 248.8lb, four ounces more than his rival who weighed 248.4lb.
After their last face-to-face meeting, the pair rushed to the cameras, with both men trying to face each other to gain one last psychological advantage.
Allen weighed more than 10 pounds less than the 259.1 pounds he faced defeat by Arslanbek Makhmnudov in October.
The 34-year-old is clearly the underdog in the bookmakers’ eyes, but he has promised to cause a solemn stir.
“He’s a great fighter, but I’m not afraid of him,” he said.
“I didn’t care about Filip Hrgovic.
“On paper I shouldn’t even be in the ring with him, but I feel like it’s going to be a special night at Donny’s tomorrow.
“I will experience one of the biggest disappointments in the history of British boxing.”
Hrgovic, who is being lined up for summer clash with Moses Itauma had he emerged victorious, he would have tipped the scales by over seven pounds more than he weighed in the wake of his August win over David Adeleye.
The Croatian, two wins since his only professional loss to Daniel Dubois, said Allen’s fans would not facilitate him in his fight for the IBF Intercontinental title.
“We’ll see tomorrow,” said the 33-year-old.
“Let’s get down to business.
“I’ve been training tough. I can’t wait.
“It’s just me and him in the ring. It won’t facilitate him [the home support]”

Tyson Fury’s family dispute breaks out just hours before his 16-year-old daughter’s wedding

Tyson Fury’s 16-year-old daughter Venezuela is set to marry her partner Noah Price this weekend, although the couple’s special day risks being overshadowed by the bitter rift that has torn through her family. The teenager, the eldest daughter of the two-time heavyweight boxing champion, became engaged to 19-year-old Noah last year on her 16th birthday.
The couple is scheduled to exchange vows on Saturday, and Venezuela enthusiastically documented their final wedding preparations for their social media followers earlier this week. However, preparations for the ceremony did not go smoothly as her father, Tyson, and grandfather, John, had a major argument earlier this year, with the latter expressing his concerns about his granddaughter getting married at such a teenage age.
In a veiled warning to Venezuela, the outspoken 60-year-old revealed he was surprised by the news of her engagement before sharing his worries about Tyson and his younger son, Tommy, during an appearance on a recently broadcast program Netflix series At Home with the Furies.
While Tyson defended amateur boxer Noah as a “decent guy”, an furious John questioned whether his granddaughter should be getting married at such a teenage age.
“These are children!” – he said. “I don’t think she’s mature enough for something like this – she’s still a child. A 15-year-old under my care should never have a boyfriend, ever.”

While the decision to allow their daughter to marry at the age of 16 has sparked public debate, the Furys have stood by her, with her mother Paris recently telling This Morning that the teenager is “so mature for her age”.
“She’s done so much in such a tiny amount of time just because of who she is and the fact that she has six younger siblings that she helped raise, I can’t deny that,” Paris said.
“I can’t say no to her because I got engaged when I was 17. She’s clearly following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way.
“I know she’s teenage. But I think she’s found the person she loves and if she’s joyful, I’ll support her completely.”

It is unclear whether John will attend Saturday’s wedding, having refused to attend Tyson’s fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov last month after revealing the pair were no longer on speaking terms.
John revealed that his once close bond with his son had been “totally destroyed” by boxing, even going so far as to refuse to watch “The Gypsy King” return to the ring.
A major factor in the rift was Tyson’s decision to come out of retirement for a fifth time and face Makhmudov, with the boxer admitting that his father had urged him to hang up the gloves six years ago after his first victory over Deontay Wilder.
“I think he’s concerned,” Tyson told Good Morning Britain. “When it comes to your children, when they are your close relatives or whatever, I think you worry a lot about that person.
“He has his own opinion and he doesn’t want me to do it – he never wanted me to do it in the last six years.”
Asked if his father would attend his fight with Makhmudov, Tyson replied: “Possibly. But he didn’t come to the Usyk II fight, so I’m not holding my breath.
“My dad will do what my dad will do. He’s his own man and there’s nothing I can do about it. If he shows up, it’ll be great, and if he doesn’t, that’s great too.”
Keyshawn Davis returns to the ring in Saturday’s rematch with Nahir Albright in Norfolk.
Davis will face Albright at the Scope Arena and it will be the first Top Rank card on DAZN.
Davis (14-0, 10 KO) won the pair’s first fight, but later tested positive for marijuana and the fight was declared a no-contest.
“The Businessman” was making waves after winning the WBO lightweight title, but his progress was curtailed after he missed weight in his scheduled first defense against Edwin De Los Santos.
The 27-year-old lost his belt on weight and his fight with De Los Santos was shelved.
The home favorite returned after an almost year-long break with a last-round stoppage over Jamain Ortiz in his super lightweight debut in January.
Albright (17-2-1, 7 KO) is 1-1 since his first match against Davis, securing an upset victory over Keyshawn’s older brother Kelvin before drawing to a draw with Frank Martin in February.
The 30-year-old was involved in an altercation with Davis following his victory over his brother last June.
Norman Jr returns after losing Haney
Former welterweight world champion Brian Norman Jr looks to get back to winning ways when he faces Josh Wagner.
Norman Jr (28-1, 22 KO) lost the WBO belt in a comprehensive fight lost by unanimous decision to Devin Haney in November and has since changed his training setup, joining world-renowned trainer Ronnie Shields.
Canadian Wagner (19-2, 10 KO) lost every round to Harlem Eubank in his last appearance in November.
Davis fights Dobson
Kelvin Davis hopes to bounce back from his first professional loss to the aforementioned Albright when he faces Peter Dobson in a welterweight bout.
Davis (15-1, 8 KO) suffered a majority defeat to Albright, and Dobson (17-3, 10 KO) ended a three-fight losing streak, including to Conor Benn, by knocking out Jorge Humberto Rodriguez Regaldo in the first round.
Undercard remaining
Undefeated featherweight Yan Santana (16-0, 13 KO) may be getting closer to his maiden world title, winning the WBO NABO crown after a points victory over Cristian Cruz Chacon (24-7-2, 12 KO)
Keon Davis (4-0, 3 KO), the younger brother of Keyshawn and Kelvin, can extend his undefeated decision streak with a victory over Edwine Humaine Jr. (9-2, 7 KO) in the super welterweight division.
Dedrick Crockem (6-0, 3 KO) may also need distance to beat Eric Howard (7-4, 2 KO) in the super featherweight division.
