HEARN CONFident eubank jr. Vs. Benn Rematch will be a ‘record-breaking’ spectacle despite criticism

Eddie Hearn predicts that the Chris Eubank Jr. Against Conor Benn Rematch a “Record-Breaking Event” when it takes place on September 20. The Matchroom promoter believes that there will be even more interest in a second fight between Benn and Eubank Jr. As last April, which was a nice one -sided battle with Chris Jr. which easily won.

Hearn says he leaves it “his excellence” Turki Alalshikh to reveal the location of the event. If he says it’s going to be ‘record-breaking’, it reduces the options for London.

Wembley stage would be the most likely place, but it is a risky choice, as fans can convert their noses to an unnecessary rematch with no absolutely sports value. This is fame box. Eubank jr. (35-3, 25 COs) is 35 years old and is nowhere near the level of the world champions.

“It’s going to be a record event. Conor Benn can fight on Saturday. He’s ready. September 20 is 12, 13 weeks away? It’s still long to go, but we’re ready and we’re ready for a massive opportunity,” Eddie Hearn said ifl tv.

People make too much out of the 10 pound rehydration clause for battle. Although it will be a nuisance for eubank JR, he will handle it and dominate it because he is a much better fighter. Benn is a limited fighter who has to compete for welter weight, and even in that weight class, he would be a lower feeder. He is not at the level of the top contenders like Shakhram Giyasov or Eimantas Stanionis.

Hearn knows better than fitting Benn against those guys, and he certainly wouldn’t be crazy enough to get him in a title fight against WBO champion Brian Norman Jr. The British fan interest in Benn would evaporate overnight after a cruel early knockout loss to Norman Jr.

“160, I believe he had a problem. Many fighters struggle on the weight, but it is its weight. You cannot say that it was out of order, which makes him weigh 160. No, it wasn’t. This is his weight. His last
