- Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s Grudge Match took a last turn on Friday
- The pair has been enemies since their fight was initially canceled in October 2022
- However, they will finally settle their differences in London on Saturday evening
New sequences have shown another torsion in the history of Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s long -awaited match of Conor Benn.
The duo will finally settle their differences at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, almost three years after their fight was initially scheduled for October 2022 before being canceled.
The original fight was canceled due to Benn twice in a positive test for clomifen, a prohibited substance. The WBC explained that the two benn failed drug tests could have been caused by “highly high egg consumption”.
In February, Eubank Jr was sentenced to a fine of £ 100,000 for slapping Benn with an egg during a confrontation, a symbolic jab referring to the latter’s previous controversies.
In addition to that, the fighters have always insisted that their confrontation is “personal” and that their ox is very real.
And it seems that bad blood extends beyond the two fighters, because their two teams also locked the horns before Friday weighing.
The teams of Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn entered a war of words before the weighing on Friday
The conflict began due to the material inside the gloves of Benn – which contained hair on horseback
Despite being unorthodox, it is legal that the gloves have hairs instead of foam padding
The two teams took place in a conflict on the equipment of the Benn gloves, which contained hair on horseback.
The material is perfectly legal but a less popular alternative to ordinary gloves which are generally padded with foam.
“They have horse -drawn hair,” said a member of the Eubank Jr team.
Robert Smith, a member of the Benn team, replied that the gloves were approved by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBOFC) and that it is net profit.
He said, “These gloves are approved by the BBBOFC. (The Eubank Jr team) should have been here at the start, they finished.
“These gloves are approved because these gloves are approved and all these other gloves are approved.”
Frank Smith, Benn’s co-promoter, added: “Our contract is that the BBBOFC approves the gloves, according to each contract that we have ever done in the world.”
The member of the Eubank Jr team replied: “It is not correct. We have specified throughout the path that we do not want hairs on horseback. It will be what it is but it is not good.
Frank Smith, Benn’s co-promoter, told Mazhar Majeed, Eubank Jr advisor to “go out”
Majeed replied by calling Smith a “p ****” several times before saying “go then”
The tensions then took place while Frank Smith entered a war of words with the councilor of Eubank Jr, Mazhar Majeed.
Smith said: “Maz, I’m not afraid of you.”
While Smith turned his back, Majeed replied: “I do not give AF ***. I don’t give AF ***. P ****. ‘
‘Come on. Come outside ” said Smith.
Majeed then called Smith again a “Pr ***”, which prompted the latter to answer: “Sorry? You continue to turn around and say it! Come outside. ‘
After Majeed said “Go then”, Smith replied: “I’m not going to fight with you”.
Tensions finally exploded when someone urged Smith to leave the room and said: “We have to organize this, Frank You Go.”
