Eubank Jr hit back: “I’m going to abstain for two weeks for you.”
Benn responded: “I don’t really care. No-one asked you about your sex drive and what gets you going mate.”
Reeling off a number of fighters, Eubank Jr continued: “Canelo [Alvarez], [Gennady] Golovkin, they get eight weeks. [Billy Joe] Saunders gets four weeks. Conor Benn gets two.”
Eubank Jr then brought YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul into the conversation, with the Brighton native calling the Problem Child out for a scrap in July.

A speechless Benn then told his rival: “You don’t half talk some s*** don’t ya?”
