Weight has always been a sticking point when these two are discussed, and…

We haven’t spoken for years and he thinks I’m a disgrace.”But the pair made amends on the eve of the clash. Eubank Sr made a surprise appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on…

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will renew their rivalry on Saturday night as they step back into the ring in front of a packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.He spent that money on a Rolls-Royce, and chirped ahead of the rematch that he hoped Eubank would miss weight again: “I’m slightly hoping you miss weight again, just a little bit. Just a pound. Just a little bit. That would be nice. Nice little gift from you last time.”Eubank hit back, though, insisting lightning would not strike twice: “We can’t give you another Rolls. Only one Rolls-Royce for you. Only once.”Regardless of…
