    Turki has disgraced himself.

    Eggscellent.

    Watching a has-been, never was in Jr and a roided midget Benn fight should be entertaining for a few rounds and hopefully one of them leaves the sport.

    It's not a fight of any substance its for the casuals but I'll still watch it anyway should be entertaining.

    It will still be a good entertaining fight I reckon, but it is a bit desperate from both sides trying to profit off an old rivalry.

    Eubank jr has had an amazing career even by modern standards, a big [by UK standards] name but at 35 years he's never had a fight of any consequence.

    The fight no one wanted.. I fkin hate our boxing at the minute in Britain we are an embarrassment.. who gives a flying fook about Eubank Junior and Connor Benn.. I can't stand either of them , neither of them have done anything in boxing yet this fight is pushed on us like we are supposed to give a ****.. both of them are a pair of absolute helmets.. there are far more deserving fighters in this sport who don't get a quarter of the exposure those two clowns get.. makes my **** boil..

    I just don't get this fight at all.
    Two guys in separate weight classes at completely different points in their careers fight because, well, their dad's didn't like each other 30 years ago. This is simply a novelty money fight, and shows how they both view their careers.

    You nailed it right there.

    I'll be busy pairing my socks or trimming my beard and fingernails that night.

    This is the first time in history that there have been English fighters who are less likeable than any American fighter, I am excluding wilder and the charlos, otherwise my point wouldn’t be valid.
    I can’t see Connor winning this, but since Eubank got his jaw checked by smith, it’s not out of the question.
    But it’s a eubank win for me

    eh, why? There was at one point a real rivalry there. Whether the hardcore want this, the casuals do. And Turki will make it happen.

    I don’t see the issue.

    interested to see the undercard. Bam doesn’t have a fight scheduled that I can see. Is there a Brit he can beat up as a co-main event?
