Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr reignited their heated rivalry in a dramatic altercation in Saudi Arabia. The incident occurred at a hotel ahead of Eubank Jr’s fight against Kamil Szeremeta, where Benn confronted Eubank Jr, exchanging insults before shoving him in the chest. Security quickly stepped in to separate the two.
Benn, 28, and Eubank Jr, 35, were originally set to face off in 2022 in a highly anticipated bout, three decades after their fathers’ famous rivalry. However, the fight was called off after Benn failed two doping tests, a controversy that has left Benn suspended from fighting in the UK. Benn, who has consistently denied intentional doping, continues to fight in the U.S. while battling to clear his name.
During the confrontation, Benn approached Eubank Jr, taunting him by saying, “You’re lucky you’re fighting tomorrow.” Despite Eubank Jr’s calm demeanor, Benn escalated the situation by shoving him and issuing more threats. Eubank Jr dismissed Benn’s outburst, calling him “a kid” and later tweeted that Benn had “waited until I’m dehydrating to grow some balls.”
The altercation has fueled speculation that a fight between the two might finally happen within the next year. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if this long-standing rivalry will eventually be settled in the ring.
