Nigel Benn has launched into a defence of his son's opponent.
Nigel Benn has leapt to the defence of Chris Eubank Jr, the man who fights his son Conor this weekend, after Eubank Jr's father Chris labelled him a disgrace.
The 28-year-old Benn blamed his two failed drug tests, which saw the first fight between the pair in 2022 cancelled, on the overconsumption of eggs. “I’m so sad Chris is not here, it’s a family affair, I don’t like to see a father and son fall out publicly, sort out your issues behind close doors and make up,” Nigel Benn told Sky Sports at the public workouts.
Natural 147 pound fighter Benn is moving up to 160 pounds when he meets Eubank Jr at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
