Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn ready for the battle this weekend

Chris Eubank Jr. (34-3) and Conor Benn (23-0) are ready for their battle this Saturday in Tottenham stadium.

Fight will be in 10 rounds in middleweight.

In the final press conference Eubank Jr talked about his complex relationship with his father and pain he endured during life.

“The weight is painful. I’m in pain right now, I’ll be in even more pain tonight and tomorrow morning,” Eubank said.

“The question I ask myself is what is pain?”

He spoke of his brother’s tragic death and his own complex relationship with his father. It brought a silence to the whole room when he finished.

“These things are what pain is to me,” Eubank continued. “The weight cut, the rehydration clause, these are all things that are not an issue, that are not important.”

The build up to this fight has been fractious. The sons of famous rivals Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, they were originally due to box in 2022, a bout which was cancelled when Benn’s drug test results emerged.

Benn’s provisional suspension was lifted at the end of last year, clearing him to box in the UK.

His trainer Tony Sims said: “He’s gone through two years of hell.” But he added: “In that course he’s gone from being a boy to a man.”

Eubank Jr. said that Conor is feeling the heat. He said that he dedicated everything for the moments like these, to fight in big arena and big fights.

“I am happy with the place I am mentally, I don’t think Conor can say the same thing. I think he’s feeling the pressure and the heat,” Eubank said.

“I know what’s coming. I’ve prepared my whole life for these moments. I’ve dedicated decades to this sport and I’ve done it all without cheating, without cutting any corners and I’m proud of that.”

Benn, however, insists he will relish the occasion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“This is what I do. I love this game. This is what I live for. This is every fighter’s dream when they turn professional,” he said.

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years and I’m more than ready.

“I’m coming here to take his head off.”
