    He is a 19 year old LWW

    Says he wants to fight once a month in the way he dad started his career

    No details on trainer or the promotional outfit

    On Sky Website whether this means Eddie Hearn or not

    Light-Welterweight?

    He looks massive for the weight if he is that!

    He looks about 10st to me......nowhere near as big as his dad.....so he wont be carrying on the Eubank-Benn feud anyway....

    Shame because I would love Eubank Jr to spark him

    Apparently very little about 20 fights.

    Therefore as a pro he needs to get out regularly

    And why's that. Jr is an arrogant muppet with no charisma.

    He's the spitting image of that troll Terry it would seem then.

    Not a great deal of amateur fights, but his dad has had him going round a lot of gyms in the UK doing countless rounds of sparring.

    Going with Hearn right now would be a bad idea, too much pressure - especially with the name Benn.

    He has the right idea, get out as often as possible... gain experience as he goes along and step up gradually.

    Might be a good idea to go with Goodwin/Hennessey/Hobson/Sanigar and then progress onto Hearn/Frank when the time is right.

    Not heard much about Conor but I hope he can forge his own career away from his dad.

    He just comes across as a total attention seeker mate
