Conor Benn Says Chris Eubank Jr Can’t Give Up On Him


Via Adam Baskin: Conor Benn said middleweight Chris Eubank Jr couldn’t lose to him on October 8 in their 157-pound bout at London’s O2 Arena.

Benn says it will be a big blow to the career of 32-year-old Eubank Jr (32-2, 23 KOs) if he is beaten because where does he go from here?

Eubank Jr took four years to bounce back from his final defeat to George Groves in 2018 and he has yet to fight for a world title since that match.

Eubank Jr could have grabbed a title in his last six games if he’d fought against the better opposition, but he’s content to focus on the underdogs while seemingly swapping killers like Janibek Alimkhanuly.

“It is completely fair. In 18 months, I don’t know where he will be,” Conor Benn told iFL TV when asked if his fight with Chris Eubank Jr had been delayed by 18 months.

“I feel it doesn’t suit him. By then he’ll get over it. I’m sitting in a comfortable position, waiting for a world championship shot. Early next year, I should be fighting for a world title in the welterweight division.

“If he loses, where will he go? It’s not quite the same as my situation. I don’t think about losing, but if he loses, he will definitely be worse. How can you lose a welding weight? He accepts that risk.

“It’s all about his money. When you think about him calling Youtuber. He’s at a stage in his career where fighting could make him more money. This is that war. In his head, he believes that I work easily.

“You saw how I prepared. Whether it’s for a journeyman, whether it’s Eubank, or for a world title, I’m equally prepared. There is nothing more I can do in each camp to become the best version of myself.

“If he believes he can beat me by 60%, that will be his problem tonight. Maybe the public doesn’t think he’s training hard,” Benn said of Eubank Jr eating a bucket of 15 pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken recently.

“It made no difference to me because I was still preparing the same way. He can do what he wants. If that’s his way of beating me by playing mind games, let him do it,” Benn said.
