    Eubank v Benn 2

    Oh my word, Chris Eubank Jr is wearing yellow shorts like his dad did in the rematch with Nigel Benn.

    He's got a HUGE fur coat on too. Like a massive marshmallow.

    'Eubank v Benn 2 is not a dangerous fight'

    Tony Bellew
    Retired world champion and DAZN pundit

    Make no mistake - Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn 2 is not a dangerous fight.

    I don't believe Eubank struggled to make weight for the first fight with Benn. He miscalculated it; he got it wrong.

    I know a lot has been made of Eubank missing weight the first time, but let us not make this rematch about that.

    Eubank was the IBO middleweight champion. It is very easy to miscalculate cutting weight.

    He probably drank in the region of six to seven litres of water a couple of days before and then he tried to dry out and release the fluids. He was out by 0.05lb - it is nothing.

    Eubank is not even a big middleweight. He is an average size for the division. He is using these excuses, showing videos of him in sauna suits and sweating it out, but 85% of fighters make weight like this.

    If Eubank does change his style to the 'Kronk' style of attack & stops Benn inside the distance, it will be special performance & show Eubank's versatility is similar to Fury v Wilder 2.

    There are still a few pockets of empty seats. It doesn't look like a sell-out but it's not far off as we draw close to the main event.

    The undercard has already delivered. Now it's over to Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn to come up with the goods.

    The DJ has just put on Tina Tuner's 'The Best' - Chris Eubank Sr's walkout song - to tease us.

    Catterall beats Essuman by stoppage

    Jack Catterall, speaking to DAZN: "First and foremost, shout out to his team. Good people, and Essuman is a solid fighter.

    "We've been working on things, having the confidence to let the hands go. This was the second fight at welterweight. I can still punch but it's having the confidence to keep throwing the hands.

    "I want all of them, [Mario] Barrios, [Lewis] Crocker, [Brian] Norman, [Rolando] Romero, I want them all!"

    Tony Bellew
    Retired world champion to BBC Sport

    Chris Eubank Jr can't keep Conor Benn off him, he'll be all over him like a rash. Eubank could catch him hard and stop him but I think the quick turnaround will favour Benn. I think he will outwork Eubank and might stop him, but I'm edging towards a Benn victory on points in an absolute thriller.

  19. 'Boxing and father and son should be two separate things'published at 21:37 GMT 15 November

    Eubank v Benn 2

    The relationship between father and son first became strained in 2019, shortly after losing a middleweight title fight against George Groves, when Chris Eubank Jr wanted to "walk his own path" as he reached a crossroads in his career.

    Eubank Sr, who had trained and mentored his son at each and every turn, was "deeply hurt" by the decision to part ways.

    "That caused us to separate and it shouldn't have," Eubank Jr said. "Boxing and father and son should be two separate things."

    They grew further apart in 2021 when Eubank Sr's son, Sebastian, died after a heart attack.

    "It consumed my father and it affected me deeply, but I think I was able to deal with it a lot better," Eubank Jr said.
