From Dan Rafael on Twitter: Per source involved, the Conor Benn-Chris Eubank Jr. fight that Matchroom is planning for February is falling apart over money on the Benn side. 400 pages by the way. Lol
Conor has realised how poor he was minus the eggs. So is now delaying the fight so he can eat eggs again. He'll be back in June looking like the hulk again
How long until Benn is on a stage thanking "his exellency" for rescuing the fight? Nothing booked in January...
Don't think this is far from the truth considering he looked smaller and weaker during that disgraceful comeback. They were so close to dragging Jr in at an unhealthy weight while Benn was pumped full of egg serum they'll be kicking themselves now. I'll bet they are seriously contemplating trying to age Jr out a bit further. Probably weighing up trying to fit in Brook or Khan if they are suitably knackered. Or perhaps Ricky Hatton in the meantime. Also wouldn't be surprised if Benn soon has some 100% real beef with a youtuber. You heard it here first..
I think you could be spot on about them trying to fight somebody else before Eubank like Khan or Brook first then try and revisit the Eubank fight when he's a little older with a bit more mileage onto his clock, "cos that's a massive fight that will always be there" for Benn.
Poetic justice, if ever there was. Looking forward to hearing Hearn's spin. Predicting he'll level some kind of blame on Eubank.
It could be that Conor Benn owes so much money to Eddie Hearn that there is nothing left from the purse he will receive in the upcoming Eubank Jr fight ?
