So, here’s the deal. Conor Benn, British fighter, is getting pretty fed up with Chris Eubank Jr. dragging his feet over their rematch. Supposedly set for late September, the date’s up in the air, thanks to Eubank’s hesitation. Turki Alalshikh even made it sound official, but… psych! Not happening yet.
Right, so Benn and Eubank—never been buddies. And now Benn’s saying Eubank is putting their showdown at serious risk by, well, stalling. Talking to Sky Sports News, Benn didn’t mince words. If Eubank skips the rematch, maybe it’s time for him to just “sail off into the sunset.” Seriously, just retire already.
Benn’s still itching for a comeback after losing by a whisker to Eubank earlier this year in April. But hey, if things don’t pan out, he’s ready to drop back to 147 pounds to chase a world title. “I’m craving redemption,” Benn spills, “it’s like it’s slipping away if we don’t throw down again.” He’s done waiting and wants to snag that WBC title. Watch out, 147, here he comes—or who knows, maybe he will fight Eubank after all.
Oh, and get this—Benn thinks Eubank’s dodging him ’cause he’s scared. Something about almost losing to a welterweight. Funny how the ball’s in Eubank’s court now. Will he step up or what? Benn’s patience isn’t infinite, that’s for sure. So, is Eubank game for round two? Guess we’ll see.
