    Overwhelmingly.

    I was so disinterested in this fight but the buildup and aminosity has really won me over.

    in what ways do you feel they both represent the worst aspects of the sport? Not saying I disagree, just wanted to explore this point a bit more

    Yes I have interest in this fight, rightly or wrongly. The animosity seems genuine.

    Neither are a patch on their fathers but Eubank Jnr is or once was a very tough and game individual who has never perfected the boxing game but is a fairly good fighter.

    Connor Benn is a limited but carefully matched fighter who can punch (or did for a while) and is in fights that are certainly not boring.

    There is intrigue to this fight, how much does Eubank have left and how does making weight affect him. Years ago he would have destroyed Benn. They look like and are fighters in different weight classes, pointing the obvious I know.

    Plus let's be honest, people would like to see Benn get a hammering, he is not that likeable.

    Not really. It was a freak show from the start, and a freak show it remains.
    Having said that, freak shows are my guilty pleasure - so I will be watching!
