Conor Benn revealed a mental toll, which adopted him during a long dismissal from sport, hindering training after what he went through. He says he went through hell, trying to remain motivated only for training.

Game of compassion?

It is not clear why Benn (23-0, 14 KO) deepens all these things before the fight on Saturday, April 26, against Chris Eubank Jr. Is he looking for sympathy of fans to look at him in a positive lightweight? Eubank Jr.- Benn will fight live on Dazn PPV from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.

PPV price for American fans is USD 24.99. To interest Americans with a fight, Benn must be more positive. Eubank Jr. He does his role to create a noise, but he can’t do it himself.

It seems that this is a wrong strategy if the goal is to get fans. It is too tardy for that. What Benn should do is to keep his jap closed about the past and focus on the fight itself, without causing ancient wounds.

“I didn’t want to fight. I was just tired. The training was tough. I wasn’t myself. How can you be you,” said Conor Benn Ring magazine About what he went mentally, trying to train during a long period outside the ring after leaving the ring.

“How can you be you, not dealing with it, not knowing how to deal with it and how to deal with it. I train and I did not even want to train. I show more discipline, more ambition and more honesty than anyone would have at this stage of my career, going through this kind of adversity and I was still able to come to the gym.”

Factor of wealth

Well, it is easier to deal with what Benn did with his time from the ring when you are affluent as he. It was not as bad as it would be for a warrior who obtained a positive result for PED, who was not affluent in millions on his bank account, with an exorbitant car, home and who did not grow up in luxury because of the celebrated dad –having a pillow of wealth Of course, of course, to put Conor in a different situation than a warrior who had to be energetic to stay.

“Do you think I wanted to train? I didn’t want to train. I couldn’t even bear the gym view,” Conor continued. “I couldn’t even bear the idea to the gym. It’s just a matter of reaching the gym. I’m going to the gym, crying, fighting only after shaving, go to the gym. Take this step.

“People say that I can’t bother with training. These were the only sessions that count and are critical are those you don’t want to do; otherwise it’s basic,” said Benn.

The proposed sessions would bring together two world champions from different weight categories. Ryan currently holds the WBC welterweight title and Inoue is the undisputed junior featherweight champion.

A notable part of Ryan’s post was his willingness to stream workouts.

One of the things Ryan mentioned in his X post was his desire to stream workouts. Ryan didn’t say whether he would bring the idea to Naoya to see if he agreed with it or not, nor did he give a date when he would train with the Japanese star.

At this stage, Ryan’s comments appear to reflect purpose rather than final findings. Although he has publicly outlined the plan, Inoue has not announced any potential training session.

If training takes place, they will bring together champions separated by more than 20 pounds in weight. Ryan is fighting in the welterweight division, and Inoue is building his championship streak in the junior featherweight division.

The idea remains one Ryan hopes to implement during his visit to Tokyo, with the added possibility of giving fans a glimpse of the session via livestream.

Tyson Fury is set to take part in the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua, but first he needs a warm-up. Now another challenger has been added to the fight, and Fury is “very interested” in the proposed fight.

The long-awaited clash between Fury and Joshua has finally been signed and will take place pending success in their tune-up fights. While Joshua is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga next month, Fury remains without an opponent for his August outing.

Promoter Frank Warren promised a “good” opponent but he recently ruled out the possibility of the “Gypsy King” facing Joshua’s former defeater Andy Ruiz Jr., who is believed to have priced himself out of the fight.

I’m talking to Play UKJoshua’s other rival, Jarrell Miller, has revealed that Fury is “very interested” in fighting him as he discusses a potential all-American clash with Deontay Wilder.

“I’ve been one of the most avoided heavyweights for a long time. We’re seeing it now. We’re trying to get Deontay Wilder out there. There’s no fight in front of him. I’m the top heavyweight in America right now, so we’re trying to make certain things happen. Let’s see if he can take control.”

“Tyson Fury is also very interested. I would love to fight these guys. Deontay or Tyson would be a wonderful fight for me. Let’s see if we can make it happen.”

Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, recently confirmed both fighters’ desire to make the fight happen, but said Miller would likely not be able to complete a full training camp on time.

The American has already scored two victories in 2026, defeating both Kingsley Ibeh and Lenier Pero, and the 37-year-old hopes those triumphs will earn him another chance on the huge stage.
