Chris Eubank Jr. He looked terrible on the scales after passing the terrifying cutting and forcing to stay tight.
The rehydration clause inserted into his clash with Conor Bennem means that Eubank Jr. He can’t relax and prepare for a fight. The need to weigh this afternoon before ceremonial weighing on Friday evening (time in Great Britain) did nothing to assist the organizers make the Brighton man seemed healthier.
Chris Eubank Jr Waga
If so, Eubank was clearly the worst that he ever ever spent on the campaign in 168 pounds. Falling to 160 pounds, especially in anticipation of facing Benn, he appeared in a nightmare for Eubank Jr.
The words of Father Chris Eubank SR before a failed fight in 20222, agreeing that his son should not be able to face Benn at the lower limit, they are now calling the organizers. If the senior forecast, which he repeated during the fighting week, will come true on Saturday evening, there will be a lot to answer.
The senior wanted to cancel his son’s license to save him from the disaster. Compliance with the weight limit, the decision necessary for Benn’s possible event, apparently became impossible for 35-year-old Eubank Jr.
The fact that Eubank cannot hydrate [can only put on nine pounds]As he did during the last two stops, Liam Smith and Kamil Sherdemeta won, until Saturday morning it was written on his skeletal face.
Benn [23-0, 14 KOs] He licked his mouth along with the promoter Eddie Hearn in honor of the perspective of capturing his rival in lower condition. The contract before the fight, which turned out to be controversial, undoubtedly gave Benn a chance to win.
When the first bell rings at the Tottenham Hotspur or Eubank stadium [34-3, 25 KOs] It is fully functional, it will become apparent within a few minutes.

Eubank Jr vs Benn
After the drug test scandal of October 2022, Benn fell on his feet and now has a real chance to defeat Eubank Jr. on the average weight limit.
My fighters will have various preparations to take up, because Eubank still observes his weight, while his nemesis eats and drinks, as he likes, because Benn weighed just over 156 pounds.
Competition, fatty eggs and eubank striking Benn at a press conference, then explode in the Great Britain of Pay-Per-View.
Before the collision, Eubank states that he is ready for everything Benn has to offer.
“I know what is coming. I have prepared my whole life for these moments. I did time. You know, I devoted the decades of this sport,” he said.
“I did all this without cheating, without cutting the corners and I am proud of it.
“I have a mentality, an experience I have, strenuous and will are what I will apply at night to take my opponent, Conor Benn.”
Destroyer
Benn added: “Without pressure. I live for it. I had a fight more than 100 times in my head. For me I focus only on training.
“Removing from the comfort zone, my acquaintance, my family and I am full. I do not intend to leave Chris and go there back. The whole PR is ready.
“I am excited that I can get there and put my hands on him on Saturday evening.”
Hearn, always a cheerleader, still emphasizes the meaning of the fight, despite the controversy related to weighing.
“It is crazy to think that on Saturday evening 65,000 people will fill this amazing stadium in the fight against generations.
“Chris Eubank Jr. against Conor Benn. Only an amazing time for boxing. An unbelievable card, iconic main event.
“This weekend, British boxing is definitely on the map. It was a great run. Thanks to everyone involved.”
Boxxer promoter, Ben Shalo, said: “This is an absolutely huge event. Thank you Boxxer and Matchroom for placing what is a historic event. I can’t wait.”

Oscar Collazo remained undefeated and won the WBO International flyweight title on Saturday night with a devastating two-round victory over Neider Valdez.
The unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight champion improved to 15-0 with 12 knockouts after defeating Valdez three times before Mexico’s corner stopped the fight at 2:35 of the second round.
Making his final appearance at 112 pounds, Collazo showed his strength immediately transferred to the upper division, defeating Valdez from the opening bell at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.
The Puerto Rican striker repeatedly found a home for his left hand and left no doubt about the outcome before the fight was called off.
“I felt great at 112 pounds. I love this division. In fact, I want to stay here for a long time,” Collazo said.
Knockdowns
Collazo admitted that he had already called for the fight to be stopped.
“After the third knockdown I was basically saying, ‘Never again, never again’. It was the right decision for his safety. His corner was well checked.

The victory added another belt to Collazo’s collection and enhanced his growing reputation as one of boxing’s most invigorating champions in the lower weight division.
Looking ahead, Collazo has made it clear who he wants next.
“The fight with Ricardo Sandoval definitely interests me. I really want that fight. I’m ready for gigantic fights. I’m ready to make history. That’s the fight I want next.”
Sandoval currently holds the WBA flyweight title, making this one of the most attractive fights available if Collazo continues his climb in weight.
The event was broadcast live on DAZN and was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in partnership with Miguel Cotto Promotions.
