- Bitter rivals will finally meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26
- Eddie Hearn makes fun of Chris Eubank Jr's 'on the beach' preparation
Eddie Hearn has ridiculed the preparation of Chris Eubank JR for his resentment with Conor Benn and insisted that his position is to train “as a possessed man.”
Bitter rivals will finally resolve their dispute on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, two and a half years after they were originally scheduled to fight, after the two tests of failed voluntary drugs of Benn.
They provided a snack for the fight when they met in the ring last October. Eubank JR had just won the World Title of Medium Weight Ibo in Saudi Arabia when Benn assaulted the ring to face it.
The appetite appears for a clash that is no less fascinating for the fact that there will be no titles involved. The honor of pride and family will be at stake given by the parents of the duo, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, shared a famous rivalry in the 1990s.
Both parents will attend the fight, adding more intrigue to the contest.
And Benn's promoter, Hearn took more fuel to the fire by suggesting that Eubank Jr was more interested in the style than the substance.

Conor Benn has the difficult challenge of intensifying two divisions for the London fight
Eddie Hearn has full confidence in his man and thinks that the fight could end in the sixth round
“We live at a time when they like to document their work”, Hearn told Talksport.
'Conor Benn is training as a possessed man.
'I think Chris Eubank is on the beach at the time. Hit pads for about 30 seconds and then present it on Instagram.
Benn faces the challenge of raising two divisions of weight, but that did not stop making a bold prediction in favor of his man for the fight.
“In my opinion, Conor Benn is on another level for Chris Eubank Jr,” said Hearn.
'But when intensifying two divisions, it is physically at a great disadvantage.
'When the bell leaves at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, this young man will come out and put on Chris Eubank as if he had never settled before.
'He will not know what is happening, where the blows come from and what type of speed is. This fight could end in six rounds.
