Promoter Eddie Hearn feels sure that Conor Benn will win through the early knockout against middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. In their 12-round headliner on Dazn ppv over 10 days on April 26. Hearn says Benn (23-0, 14 COs) will overcome because he is “much better” than Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 COs), and practice like an animal.
Eubank JR-Benn fights a great crowd in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Hearn feels that Benn immediately after Eubank jr. Go go, and looking for a quick knockout.
Benn’s limits
Benn, 28, will have to increase his game for him to eubank jr. To defeat, because he didn’t look the same in his last two battles compared to how he did earlier. From 2019 to 2022, Conor looked like a future world champion. But since returning from his year-and-a-half dismissal in 2023, he has worked after an impressive victory over Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco. In both fights, Benn was forced to waive.
“Conor is practicing like an animal in every camp, but this camp is different. In this camp he is a notch,” promoter Eddie Hearn said The bumpy groundand discusses his fighter, Conor Benn’s readiness for his match against middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr. On April 26 on April 26 in London. “Do I expect him to win? Absolutely.’
For Benn to against eubank jr. He will need talent and the explosive power he once had, which has disappeared since 2023. Hearn has not yet discussed a plan B for Conor’s career if he loses this battle.
It is clear that he can return to the Welterweight section, but there is no guarantee of success. With him struggling against Dobson and Orozco, Benn would stand no chance against welterweight champions Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Brian Norman Jr., and Mario Barrios. If the focus is only on Benn who gets a big payday, Hearn can arrange for him to get a world title. He would not deserve to fight for a world title if he lost Eubank JR, but that would not stop him from fighting.
“I also know how tough and dangerous this struggle is. He is (Benn) who arrives two weight classes to fight a much larger man, but he is a man he is much better than, “Hearn says, talking about what Conor is fighting against the middleweight eubank. “That’s the reality.” A man he trains much harder than. I think it’s a man that he wants it much more. “
Domestic shallow ceiling
Benn has a built -in excuse if he loses. He can blame it if he moves up two weight classes to fight a larger, more experienced fighter at 160. His fans will be sympathetic and will not come down too hard on him. However, if Conor chooses to fight at a low-level opposition at 147, he will be invisible and will be seen as a household fighter ignored by non-British.
“I know that eubank will be for this battle. That means a lot to him, but Conor has to start this battle quickly and early, and if he does, I believe he wins this battle in six rounds. Eubank was brilliant in the build -up. He is a character.
“He has people who tell him what to say, and I believe he will be on the form next week. The noise at Tottenham Stadium. It will be epic, and you know how Conor is fighting. He’s not going to come out and start feeling. He will make the full thing to make Eubank disappear early, and that’s what I believe he’s going to do, ‘says Hearn.
