This is a fights as controversial as dividing. This Saturday, bad blood between Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn will finally spill on the boxing ring after two and a half years of insults, eggs, drwis related to doping and unparable confrontations.
In favor of fans, it means the iconic family competition given to the second generation. In the case of cynics, it is a farcyt theater between two men living outside the heritage of their fathers. For the legendary Chris Eubank SNR, who, unlike Nigel Benn, will not be in the corner of his son at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, this means unnecessary danger and potential of fatal damage to his boy.
His fears are focusing around a huge difference in weight between two warriors. Benn moves on two weights to collide with your rival in medium weight. To counteract this, there is a clause that forbids or a warrior to apply more than 10 pounds after final weighing.
58 -year -old Eubank did not hide that he wished to scrap the fight. He did not share his words after the appeal of the first duel due to the unsuccessful doping test Benna, accusing the authorities of “attempting to murder my son.”
Rick Hatton, a man well used to the dangers of the ring, sympathized with the arduous situation of his former world champion. He also insisted that the fight would not be sanctioned if any of the man was considered threatened.
“I see his point absolutely,” Hatton said, he said on behalf of. “I would like to see Campbella (his son) in the same position if I had a story with one of my opponents, and then they ended badly, and my son is cooking on a weight and has a clause of hydration? I feel uncomfortable.”
“But Conor and Eubank Jnr, next to Nigel, have all faith in the British boxing control council that everything will be unthreatening, even if there is a hydrogen clause and a difference in weight. I have no doubt that the board will ensure the security of the boxer and although Conor moves up, and Eubank Jnr moves down, they will make sure that the fight is unthreatening.”
Eubank’s fears are not unfounded. The Tottenham Hotspur stadium was rebuilt from the night where Michael Watson fought in their rematch in 1991, but the White Hart Lane ghosts remain. Watson suffered almost greasy brain damage after falling in the final round, leaving him a life -changing injuries.
Hatton does not share his skepticism, but sympathizes with his situation. He believes in the organizers, but also supports Eubank’s parental attitude.
“The British boxing control council and the medical side of things will order the right things, so nothing is happening,” he added. “But if you went through what my parents went through, I understand why Chris SNR doesn’t want to be related to it.”
Regardless of the result on Saturday evening, the result will remain in the memory of boxing fans for a long time. Hatton is sure that the result will be unthreatening.
