Eubank Jr suggested he is now ready to face Benn in the fight dubbed ‘Born Rivals’ after both their fathers went head-to-head with each other twice in the 1990s.
Speaking to IFL TV, Eubank Jr said: “I’m a constant professional. I have abstained from sex my entire career and I have never ever slipped up on it.
“I have been tested, many a time, I have even been tricked a few times.
“I have woken up and you know, something is going on which I didn’t say was okay. I’ve had that a couple of times.

“But I have never ever slipped up. I always keep the discipline, keep my routine.
“If I say I’m going to do four weeks – I do four weeks. If I say I’m going to do seven weeks – I do seven weeks.
“I have done my two weeks for Conor Benn.”
Benn has mocked Eubank’s methods of developing a routine, focus and a build-up of testosterone pre-fight.

A confused Benn poked fun at his rival: “How has it come to this? What are you talking about?
“I don’t care, no one asked about your sex drive or about what gets you going.”
Eubank previously said to The Face Off: “I’m not going to kill myself in this training camp. Usually, I go eight weeks without sex. I abstain for eight weeks.
“I’m going to abstain for two weeks for you.
“Canelo [Alvarez], [Gennady] Golovkin, they get eight weeks. [Billy Joe] Saunders gets four weeks.
“Conor Benn gets two. Jake Paul will get one week. So, you’re not at the bottom of the barrel, but you’re close.”
