If there’s one man waiting to comment on Chris Eubank Jr’s disqualification, it’s Conor Benn.
While the pair’s potential battle might not be in jeopardy, Benn couldn’t resist criticizing Eubank for their recent back and forth.
A little background – Eubank and Benn are set to fight in the hot weight division. It was the snowball that became one of the biggest matches of 2022, drawing large audiences largely thanks to their forefathers’ arena rivalry in the 1990s. Benn failed a doping test, And that’s all she wrote.
Since then – and like Benn desperately tries to erase his name -Eubank took every opportunity to put on the boot, much to the delight of the fans.
Eubank was open about still wanting to fight in the future, but he had to deal with Liam Smith first – and he couldn’t. Liverpudlian shocked the boxing world when he stopped the ‘unstoppable’ Eubank in the 4th round. It wasn’t just a cautious stoppage by the referee – Eubank was already gone.
One of the first to join online was – you guessed it – Conor Benn. First, the undefeated heavyweight boxer, currently under investigation for doping, shared an old clip of Naseem Hamed calling for Eubank to retire. ‘Prince of Naz’ advice is commonly used in online boxing, and Benn clearly has it in the bank if the match goes this way.
Oh my God, @chriseubankjr it’s a good job you didn’t fight me. You will stretch two rounds at 160. pic.twitter.com/5wtdE0HHGn

Benn shared another clip of his dad laughing and saying ‘it’s not going to pass two hours.’

That is a major obstacle to Eubank’s return and whether there is a desire to do so remains to be seen. If that’s the case, can Benn wait for his footage? Or did the so-called ‘biggest boxing match’ just come to an end?
