      The boxing promoter has publicly declared his intention for the fight to take place at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
      But Benn has not yet been given the green light to box in Britain after failing a drugs test last year, the result of which scrapped his original bout with Eubank Jr.
      He was cleared to return to boxing in July by the National Anti-Doping Panel.
      However, the British Boxing Board of Control will appeal the decision in the coming weeks as they are yet to restore Benn’s licence to fight in the UK.

      Benn, who beat Rodolfo Orozco in Orlando last month, maintains he did not deliberately break anti-doping rules.
      Yet with just 11 weeks until Benn’s bout with Eubank Jr, Hearn has made plans to host the fight in Abu Dhabi.
      The clash is set for December 23, the same night Tyson Fury will attempt to unify the heavyweight division against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
      Hearn confirmed: “December 23, I’m calling it now, Benn vs Eubank, December 23.

      “I’m not including it in the schedule right now but I am calling it.”
      There is a chance Fury vs Usyk could be pushed back until January should Benn vs Eubank Jr go ahead on that date.
      The Gypsy King faces Francis Ngannou in an exhibition bout at the end of October.
      And that would give him just eight weeks to get ready for the biggest fight of his career. More

      And Fury appears to be in the shape of his life as he posed topless to show off his sensational two month transformation.
      He captioned the post: “A 9 week transformation… one thing about me, I don’t cut corners. Ever.”
      Fiancee Molly-Mae Hague commented: “Absolutely insane.”
      The 2019 Love Islander has closed out his training camp for the bout and has been left completely shredded.

      Fury, 24, comes into the bout having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul, 26, by split-decision in their February grudge match.
      And he admitted to putting on THREE STONE after the win by gorging on £300 worth of cheesecake and junk food.
      But it is obvious Fury had no problem back in fighting shape as he prepares to come down in weight to face KSI.
      Despite his stunning transformation, KSI, 30, hit back: “Will make it so much funnier when I knock him out.”

      And he arrived full of confidence after claiming he could beat KS even after a boozy bender.
      He told PA: “These guys don’t really call for me to step up to world title ability. I’m levels above these guys.
      “I could beat KSI after 15 pints of beer. I could literally go down the pub all day, fight him at night-time and still beat him.
      “If we fight 100 times I beat him 100 times.”

      The Cameroon-born 37-year-old is currently in Las Vegas training ahead of his money-spinning cross-combat showdown with not many giving him a chance of toppling the undefeated Gypsy King.
      However, Ngannou provided a chilling example of the strength he possesses over the weekend when he inadvertently demolished a shop door.
      The 6ft 4in powerhouse approached the store in Nevada City and attempted to push the door open.
      But after it failed to move, he tried again to gain entry by pushing with a little more force – only to receive a massive shock.

      The glass in the door’s window panes suddenly exploded and shattered to the ground, leaving the MMA icon looking stunned.
      Ngannou then pulled the door, which saw it open with ease, before stepping over the glass to be confronted by the angry shop owner.
      A clip released of the incident, which has no audio, shows the owner remonstrating with Ngannou outside as he surveys the damage.
      However, it has now emerged that Ngannou paid for the damages and both he and the elder shopkeeper were later all-smiles as they posed for a selfie together.

      Ngannou has enlisted the help of boxing legend Mike Tyson to help him prepare for his mouthwatering clash with Fury.
      And Iron Mike has insisted that he will shock the world and knockout the Gypsy King if he connects with his jaw.
      But not many others have as much belief in the MMA icon – with Fury’s ex-opponent Derek Chisora even predicting that he will struggle to lay a glove on the boxer after watching him train.
      He said: “If he’s fighting and throwing punches like that, it’s going to be a walkover.
      “Tyson is in camp now, he is going to come in and knock him out because he has got a big fight in December.”
      That is referring to his undisputed heavyweight world title decider with Oleksandr Usyk which is reportedly DONE for December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile, Tyson’s father John Fury has even claimed that this will be one of his son’s “quickest knockouts”.
      He said: “He won’t get out the first round, it’s probably gonna be Tyson’s quickest knockout. If that’s what he’s got, God help him, he’ll get smashed to bits.”

      But his recent collab video with new Prime athlete Haaland almost laid waste to his showdown with Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson.
      KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – almost had his nose battered by the Norwegian man-mountain while filming some content with him.
      Haaland and Prime co-founder Logan Paul recently tried to save a number of penalties from the Manchester City hitman.
      And some of the 23-year-old’s strikes came dangerously close to smacking KSI in the face and potentially derailing his fight with Fury.

      KSI recalled the meet-up during an appearance on That Peter Crouch Podcast, saying: “Oh my God. So I was in goal for it.
      “Bro, I was s***ting myself because he knows how to hit hard. It’s different.
      “Like you know when you’re with your mates and they kick the ball? It can be hard, but it’s not like professional level.
      “Haaland was there just trying to hit me with a volley, at professional level, while I’m in goal.

      “And I’m there like, ‘Bro, I’ve got a fight like in a month. Are you mad? What are you doing?’ I’m just trying to get out of the way.”
      KSI enters his showdown with Fury on the back of a no contest with self-proclaimed millionaire Joe Fournier.
      The 30-year-old is a huge underdog going into the fight but is adamant he’ll stop Fury inside four rounds.
      He said: “I’m feeling good, feeling confident and feeling ready.
      “I’m going to just stand there and fight him, Jake ran away from Tommy’s combinations; I’m not running away, I’m standing in the middle of the ring and I’m fighting him.
      “I’ve watched [Fury and Paul’s fight] many times, every angle on slo-mo, every stance, every little bit of detail that I need to know in order to beat Tommy Fury.
      “Tommy has got some certain combinations that he likes doing that he’s pretty good at and we’re looking out for that.
      “Obviously he’s a big guy that likes to clinch so we’re going to be watching that and we’re going to fight him.
      “Just go in there and fight, go crazy, it’s simple. I’m going to test that chin and I’m going to show him that my power is different to Jake Paul.”

      Tyson Fury’s nutritionist reveals he’s eating like a child in preparation for Francis Ngannou fight

      Fury’s ten-rounder with Ngannou has been slammed by the boxing world, with many believing he’s making a mockery of the sport by taking the fight.
      And judging by his pre-fight diet of turkey dinosaurs and chicken nuggets, he’s not taking the Cameroonian clubber too seriously.
      Fury’s nutritionist George Lockhart told Betway: “He’s got a lot of funny guilty pleasures…
      “He’s definitely got a sweet tooth, but if you bread stuff and crisp stuff up, it’s definitely a lot more enjoyable than a regular grilled chicken.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “But I think it’s because he’s got seven kids, you know what I’m saying?
      “Just probably indulging in a couple of freaking chicken nuggets here and there.”
      WBC heavyweight champion Fury, 35, also isn’t a fan of veg, which Lockhart has to sneak into his meals,
      He revealed: “He’s not a big fan of veg, so I cook a lot for long periods of time to mask the flavour.

      “I’ll do it with chicken broth or bone broth. Or you can do it in a rice for a long period of time, so you can’t really taste it and blend it in.
      “But as the camp progresses, obviously veg has got to go up to make sure they’re getting all their micronutrients.”
      Although he regularly consumes Turkey dinosaurs and chicken nugs, Lockhart does his utmost to ensure Fury’s diet is a balanced one.
      He said of the Wythenshawe warrior’s daily intake: “It’s a mixture of everything, every single meal.
      “I actually give a lot of lean pork to him and Joseph (Parker). Chicken too.
      “I’ll do red meat on days that they’re off, to give their body the time to digest.
      “Red meat is the most nutrient-dense meat out there, but it also takes time to digest, so I don’t want to be giving it to him every day.”
      Fan-favourite Fury is seemingly using MMA man-mountain Ngannou as a warm-up bout for his long-overdue undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk, which SunSport understands is on course to take place on December 23. More
