Benn/Hearn conspiracy theory : Brian Norman Junior's father thinks Eddie Hearn’s reasons for not putting together the unification fight that 'Boots' Ennis wanted against his son, Norman Jr., and then losing the IBF purse bid for his mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian, are part of a plot to get Ennis to vacate his IBF title and move up to 154. This would free up the belt, move Ennis out of the way and allow Hearn's suspended drug cheat Conor Benn the chance to claim that belt and then take advantage of his position as champion to set up lucrative fights in the US.
