Read our privacy policy Chris Eubank has claimed he will do anything in his power to stop his son’s fight with Conor Benn from going ahead. While the Britons’ rivalry is one of the most storied in their nation’s boxing history, Eubank does not wish to see his son’s own rivalry with Conor Benn get off the ground. Conor Benn celebrates with father Nigel in December 2021 “If your dad won’t protect my son, if they won’t allow me to protect my son, you protect him,” Eubank told Benn. Nigel Benn reportedly then asked Eubank: “So, you’re putting your foot down – saying to your son, at 32 years old: This fight is not happening”?
