Yesterday’s press conference for the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight turned volatile, leaving many wondering if Thursday’s scheduled meeting would even happen. The promoters are on edge, unsure if they can rely on the fighters to keep their tempers in check until the main event on April 26.
However, Sky Sports has confirmed that tomorrow’s press event will proceed, but not without some changes to keep things from boiling over. Enhanced security measures will be in place, and there’s buzz about Turki Alalshikh making a significant announcement. Interestingly, the traditional face-off has been scrapped entirely, a precautionary move to ensure Eubank and Benn are safely kept apart. Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn isn’t taking any chances; he’s adamant about maintaining a safe distance between them for now.
Ultimately, Eubank and Benn are expected to resolve their rivalry in the ring this spring, provided they don’t let the tension derail the fight beforehand.
