Read our privacy policy Chris Eubank has doubled down on his criticism of organisers of his son’s now-cancelled bout with Conor Benn. The main-event fight at London’s O2 Arena would have seen Eubank Jr, 33, cut three more pounds than usual, while 26-year-old Benn was set to move up two weight classes. “They asked me to be in my son’s corner, they were trying to pay me to be in my son’s corner.” Despite last week’s revelation of Benn’s adverse drug test result, the fighters and promoters tried to proceed with the fight, which Eubank Sr labelled an “outrage”. “I’ve done everything I can to actually bolster him into a position of strength to where no one would cheat him and misuse him.” Conor Benn celebrates with father Nigel in December 2021 Eubank Jr vs Benn was scheduled to take place almost exactly 29 years to the day after the pair’s fathers fought for the second and final time.
