Hearn says that Benn (23-0, 14 kos) was confused greater fighters in the camp and will be ready to fight Euank Jr. (34-3, 25 KB). He did not mention who Benn argued. His combat style is difficult to imitate, and whatever the fight he had will not help.
A rocky past
Hearn was folded out of shape on the eggs that Eubank Jr. made last February, believing that he could have injured Benn during this episode if he had struck him in the eyes.
“Sometimes I think he crossed the line a little, but he probably does not give as ***,” said Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV When asked if he likes Chris Eubank Jr. “I have never said anything derogatory about him. I actually respect it. I respect the way he followed the traces of his father and I actually participate in a difficult life. ”
Hearn withdrew the Eubank Jr negotiations with Gennadiy Golovkin in 2016 and used Kell Brook for the fight. If you are EUBANK JR, you could not have had positive feelings about Hearn after this episode. It should have been Chris’s fight. Obviously, the eggs of Benn d’Eubank Jr. on February 25 angry Hearn, but that finally worked well for the promoter, creating interest where there had been very little before.
“We are never really heard. I didn’t like him. It’s really not my cup of tea. I’m probably not his cup of tea. We both come from a boxing world where our fathers were very successful. His father was a fighter, and mine was a promoter. We try to open our way.
Hearn should not be too worried about whether Eubank Jr. and they get along. They probably have a fight, seeing themselves in revenge Eubank Jr.-Benn. After that, it’s over unless Chris Jr. can continue his career a little longer. Given the money he will earn from his two fights with Benn and a potential confrontation against Canelo Alvarez in 2026, he will retire.
Accept the drawback
“I wish him the best. I don’t think he wins Saturday. Conor will be 10 pounds lighter or a lighter stone inside the ring, but we know it. It is not a surprise. Chris said that Conor’s latest fight was 154. He had a notice of about four weeks. That’s why. But we have no problem with the weight. We are not going: “Oh, it’s unfair. He is bigger than us. We know what it is.
“We know what we registered, and it was confused with much bigger men than Chris Eubank in the preparation of this fight. So he is ready,” said Hearn about Benn.
