      Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for British dust-up

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK JR and Conor Benn are set to clash in a bout that will stoke the memories of the 1990s. It was in 1990 and again in 1993 that Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn fought two brutal world title fights.

      Eubank Sr won the first one via 9th-round TKO, picking up the WBO middleweight title in the process, but the second fight, which took place at super-middleweight, ended in a draw.
      Now 29 years on, their sons will clash.
      Eubank Jr, a middleweight who has also campaigned at 168lbs, will come down to his lowest weight ever 157lbs to challenge Benn – a career welterweight.
      It was a fight which was first floated into the ether after Eubank Jr beat Liam Williams earlier this year.
      Nobody took the idea of it seriously, apart from Benn, who has struggled to find a competitive fight at 147lbs.

      When is Eubank Jr vs Benn?

      Eubank Jr’s massive clash with Benn will take place on Saturday, October 8, 2022.
      The fight will take place at the O2 Arena in front of 18,000 fans.
      Both men will clash 29 years on, almost to the day, from Eubank Sr vs Benn 2 at Old Trafford on October 9, 1993.
      Ring-walks for the main event are expected to get going at around 10pm UK time.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Eubank Jr vs Benn will be shown live on DAZN PPV
      You can subscribe to DAZN for £7.99-a-month, but that does NOT give you streaming access to Eubank Jr vs Benn.
      The clash is available for live streaming from the DAZN app, which you can download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      Eubank Jr vs Benn FULL CARD
      The full card is yet to be announced but SunSport will be regularly updating fans once the other fights are revealed.
      What has been said?
      Both fighters are excited to put on a showdown which will roll back the years for many boxing fans.
      Eubank Jr said: “I grew up watching their legendary battles and always wanting to emulate that, and find my own arch nemesis… could this now be Conor Benn? We will find out.
      “He has walked the same path as I have. I know his struggle. Living in the shadow of a legend and trying to break out of that shadow and make his own name. If he can beat me, his name will be made, and he will never walk in his father’s shadow again.

      “It’s a fight that’s going to spark the imagination of the British public, that’s what I’m happy about. In terms of anticipation, legacy and hype it’s the biggest fight of my career.”
      Whilst Benn said: “This fight is for the legacy and was an opportunity I felt I couldn’t pass up.
      “My team and I had other options on the table as I’m currently ranked top 5 with all governing bodies at Welterweight and no doubt I’m looking for a World Championship fight very soon, but this fight is embedded with so much history and I know it’s one the public really want to see.
      “To me this fight is personal – it’s more than titles and rankings, this is unfinished business between our families!” More

      Oleksandr Usyk plays in charity basketball match as he relaxes while Tyson Fury edges closer to Anthony Joshua fight

      by

      OLEKSANDR USYK has been snapped playing a charity basketball game in Ukraine as he relaxes weeks after his win over Anthony Joshua. The Ukrainian boxer is not fighting any further opponents this year due to injury and wanting to spend time with his family.

      So while Joshua and Tyson Fury work out a date for their Battle of Britain clash, Usyk was instead enjoying a low-stakes basketball match.
      Fury’s camp had wanted to see if a bout could be arranged with the Jeddah winner before the end of the year, but Usyk’s injury ended those plans.
      Instead Fury looks set to fight AJ as their two teams try to organise a date for November or December.
      The 34-year-old set social media alight as he surprisingly called out Joshua for a fight.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      His offer came only weeks after Joshua lost for a second time to Usyk.
      The bout gives Joshua the chance to claim the WBC world title if he wins but the camps are still squabbling over dates.
      But reports suggest a deal is in the offing, and the fight could be the biggest in British boxing history.
      And in another twist, Usyk has even offered to train Joshua for the fight should it come to pass.

      Negotiations are currently on hold after the death of The Queen.
      Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren told talkSPORT they paused talks out of respect for Her Majesty.
      He said: “We’ve put it all on hold at the moment. It wasn’t appropriate obviously. That’s how we feel.
      “We’ve put it on hold and will pick up on it in the next week or so.
      “From our perspective, we don’t feel it is appropriate out of respect for what has happened.” More

      ‘No one asked you about your sex drive’ – Conor Benn ridicules Chris Eubank Jr for bringing up love life during face-off

      by

      CHRIS EUBANK JR bizarrely brought up his SEX DRIVE during a sit down talk with upcoming opponent Conor Benn.The pair are set to meet inside the ring on October 8 at the O2 Arena in a catchweight bout – 29 years after their fathers’ legendary second fight.

      As part of DAZN Boxing’s build-up to the next generation bout, the two sat down for a chat for The Face Off.
      Eubank Jr, 32, tweeted out a small clip from the special, where he discussed how long he will be abstaining from physical activities.
      He said: “Usually I go eight weeks without sex. I abstain for eight weeks.”
      To which a baffled Benn, 25, stated: “How has it come to this? What are you talking about?”

      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.

      He remarked: “Jake Paul will get one week. So you’re not at the bottom of the barrel, but you’re close.”
      A speechless Benn then told his rival: “You don’t half talk some s*** don’t ya?”
      Eubank simply replied: “I’m a bad boy.”
      The former world title challenger promised to take Benn “to school” last month as he threatened to “teach him” a lesson.
      He said: “I will be his fatherly figure in the build-up and at the fight.
      “I will take him to school, walk him through the doors, sit him down and teach him everything he needs to learn.

      “My advice is ‘get sparring partners who are going to really hurt you for the next eight weeks’, that’s his best shot at beating me.

      The contest was waved off in the fourth round after the American was left sprawled across the canvas after being on the receiving end of a monster straight right.
      McBroom started the fight on the front foot having scored a knockdown of his own in the opening round.
      But he failed to capitalise on his early success, as he hit the deck twice in the third round, before being floored three times in the fourth.
      And as a result of his brutal beatdown on his professional boxing debut, McBroom was taken straight to hospital.

      McBroom, whose Social Gloves company was promoting the event, is yet to comment on his defeat as he failed to speak post-fight in the ring or on any of his social media channels.
      The same can’t be said for AnEsonGib who took to Twitter where he simply stated: “No Mercy.”
      In a separate tweet, he said: “Very grateful for the UK & YouTube Boxing community.”
