Eddie Hearn insists that Conor Benn’s lack of size doesn’t matter if he jumps up two weight classes to middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. On Saturday, April 26, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Hearn says Benn (23-0, 14 COs) is “Better” Then eubank jr. (34-3, 25 COs), and it will be enough to do to underlie.
Conor struggled in his last fight against Peter Dobson and did not show that he was technically good to work with a hard fight on February 3, 2024. That was 14 months ago.
Overcome size
To come back against Chris Eubank Jr. Without the benefit of an institution, it would be difficult for any fighter, but it is worse for a Benn, who has never cut his teeth at the world-level opposition. He is smaller, ring-rusty and without experience against contenders. It doesn’t look good for Conor.
Saturday’s battle between Benn and Eubank Jr. Will be shown Live on dazn Ppv. The winner of this battle will be in line to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his Super Mid -weight titles in 2026. It would be a great turnaround in the career if Benn met to the winner on Saturday and met with Alvarez next year.
Undercard fights
– Anthony Yarde at Lyndon Arthur
– Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna
-Chris Billiam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton
– Viddal Riley vs. Cheavon Clarke
“I jump up with two weight divisions, yes. Does it have me? Not really. It’s a fight. Let’s fight, ‘Conor Benn told Matchroom BoxingSmoking about not worried about two divisions around the middleweight Chris Eubank Jr.
“It makes me no difference what he does, what he thinks. I really care less, because regardless, I’m going to come out to his temple with a big right hand. ‘
The power that Benn had once a few years ago evaporated, and he was forced to win his last two battles that have the distance against non-starters Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco. It is understandable why Conor wants to succeed because he does not have the boxing skills or the size of a decision against Euabnk Jr.
Hearn’s “Better” claim
‘Conor Benn is a welter weight that comes to middleweight. He is a major disadvantage, But he is much better. He is much younger. He is very fresh, but he comes to a much bigger man, “says promoter Eddie Hearn.
I doubt Hearn actually believes that his husband can win Benn. You can say that Conor Benn is the ‘better man’ than eubank jr. If he hit a middleweight like Janibek Alimkhanuly, Carlos Adames, Erislandy Lara or Denzel Bentley. But since he did not fight one of the guys and that he was filled with Scrubs at the domestic level, you can only assume that he will lose quite badly on Saturday.
“I didn’t worry about it. Conor is now about eight pounds over the middleweight. He walks around 12 stone, comfortable,” says Nigel Benn.
Conor is still going through eubank jr. Be great in this battle. It doesn’t matter if he walks around at 168, he still doesn’t have anyone as big as or as talented as Chris Jr.
