Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr
Date: April 26th, 2019 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Many boxing experts predicted an upset after Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn finally collide in the ring on Saturday, leading to a final setback.
Two and a half years after their first fight was postponed due to Benn failing two drug tests, and 32 years since their fathers last fought, the bitter rivals square off.
Benn, 28, is the underdog, moving up two weights to fight middleweight and successfully battling a doping ban for more than two years.
Who will triumph over the fierce rivalry?
Will Benn deliver the quick knockout he has promised, or will Eubank, 35, carry his family’s unbeaten streak?
Fabio Wardley, a heavyweight, said, “Eubank will win.” A lot of the weight factor will be a factor, as someone who is naturally attracted to fighting at that weight will struggle to do it. Asking Benn to come up two weights is a lot. Benn can carry some powerful punches at his weight, but a bigger guy is more accustomed to taking bigger shots, so they don’t have the same impact.
Hannah Rankin, Scotland’s first female world champion, says, “I believe Eubank will stop it in the middle of the road.” His size and experience favor him. If Benn wins, I’ll be very surprised. Bank has more strength. He has faced strong opponents who have put his chin to the test. How many people interpret this as a “50-50” rule surprised me.
Adam Azim, a lightweight champion, is expected to “knock him out.” He is very powerful and the younger fighter. Eubank’s most recent performance was disappointing.
Hamzah Sheeraz, a middleweight, says, “I believe Benn will win.” I want to fight him in the future and for selfish reasons, but Benn seems to be able to handle the job.

Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter, said, “Benn has to start right away in this fight, he has to land, he has to hurt him early, get his respect, and, quite frankly, get him out of there.” In six rounds, I believe we need him out. He arrives early, dry, and cold, and I think Eubank has stopped him.
Lyndon Arthur, a light-heavyweight, says, “I think Benn will come out and he might shock Eubank.” However, he might be caught entering.
Cheavon Clarke, a cruiserweight, “I’m on the fence.” Possibly a draw.
Liam Smith, the former light-middleweight champion, said, “I find it difficult to pick a winner, but I won’t be surprised by either outcome.” I do have a point advantage over Benn.
Ben Shalom, the promoter of Eubank, said, “I believe Eubank wins by knockout.” The first two or three rounds will be frantic, before settling down and assuming Eubank. a six-round knockout.
Johnny Nelson, the former world champion at cruiserweight, said, “I’m recommending Eubank because he had more consistency in his career. In the first six rounds, Benn should suit Eubank because his attack and ferociousness suit him.
Anthony Yarde, a light-heavyweight, says that Benn’s success comes down to how well he behaves and detonates when necessary. Benn is good at finishing if he hurts Eubank. Eubank is being himself, but in a more aggressive way, if he wins. He needs to be activated. the version he faced in his follow-up to Liam Smith. The operator at Eubank is a world-class one, he has demonstrated.
