Chris eubank jr. Write the strangest memoir in box. Forget belts, forget rivalry – this is the saga of a man who lost a toenail and found a way to make it sound like Dunkirk. Oh yes, and he also managed to roar through the tribute of Ricky Hatton just to stop Eddie Hearn. Pure class, right?
This was yesterday’s press conference for the November 15 Dazn PPV Eubank – Benn Rematch. Eddie tried to say, “Just a few words …” About Ricky. Before he could finish, Eubank cut him off: “No, there is no 30 seconds. You know the drill. ‘Hatton, at 46, reduced to another chapter in the Eubank Grief Diary.
Eddie finally calls it
For once, Eddie Hearn cuts through the nonsense. “You’re a few ae. All I’m going to do was say a few words about Ricky Hatton. I won’t say anything, you are an AE and you talk ***. “
Then to IFL TV: “He knew what I was trying to talk about. He is not a decent block. He wants to portray himself as the people’s champion, but I disagree. ‘
On The bumpy groundHearn has completed the work: “The mask slipped tonight. What didn’t make me say to say a few words about Ricky Hatton – when he knew I was trying to talk about Ricky Hatton – honestly, I couldn’t have these blocks. “
This is the promoter who speaks like a fellow fan. And for once he wasn’t wrong. And behind the scenes? Eddie mumbles over him. Threatening legal action to Eubank’s rentals on sabotage, conspiracies and dirty tricks of the match room. You can tell that Hearn is fed up if he reaches to the advocates instead of the microphone.
The then Diaries: A Survivor’s Languages
And then came the confession. Eubank Jr., talk about the first fight in April: ‘Listen, I was so dehydrated one of my toenails fell off. It’s halfway back now. “He delivered it with the seriousness of a deathbed speech. Thank God the nail’s halfway back – imagine that boxing had to cancel himself because Chris could not wear sandals.
He talks about blocked ambulances against him, with delays in safety. The whole thing sounds less like a fighting week and more like a school kid screaming: “Miss, they bully me!” Except that the price is a connected toes.
If ever there is a Netflix offers: the nail that almost diedWe know who will interpret. Spoiler: It’s not Benn, because he was too busy to act like a fighter.
Benn looked like a man, eubank looked like a child
Meanwhile, Conor Benn showed the difference. City shirt, quiet respect, not a beep of drama. On BBC Radio 5 Live he said:
“Hatton made me feel at home when I didn’t have a home. He meant a lot to me. Very close to me and my family. He was someone I admired as a man, he was my hero. He is my hero. It is still difficult to process now. My love for the family. ‘
This is respect. It’s raw. It is a block that his hero remembers. And that made Eubank’s tantrum look even ugly.
Benn’s have luggage, but at least he knows how to act like an adult when it counts. Eubank looked like a toddler blowing with his foot to shout, “Look what happened to me.”
Remember Ricky Hatton
Ricky Hatton wasn’t just a fighter – He was a man who carried British box on his shoulders. From Manchester -evenings who felt like world events to Las Vegas trips where thousands followed him over the ocean, Hatton gave the sport his blood, his soul and his pride.
He fought his heart wide open, he laughed with the fans, and he made ordinary people believe that they were going on. He was more than belts, more than numbers – he was a folk champion in the right sense.
That’s why she cuts passingly so deeply. Hatton deserves respect, silence, thirty seconds, an eternity if necessary.
Instead, Eubank made it about himself.
