Chris Eubank Jr. has been told he must have his boxing licence REVOKED just days before his grudge match against rival Conor Benn.

Eubank Jr. and Benn are just days away from settling their feud as they go to battle on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

They were originally scheduled to fight in October 2022 until the bout was cancelled when Benn failed two drug tests.

The all-British showdown has faced calls to be cancelled again, with Chris Eubank Sr. urging authorities to cancel the bout to prevent either man suffering a similar fate to Michael Watson.

Speaking on The Sun's No Glove Lost, Eubank Sr. has once again called for boxing authorities to intervene, claiming his son should have his boxing licence REVOKED.

"He must have his licence revoked," he told George Groves, referencing Eubank Jr.'s egg stunt.

Eubank Jr. was punished by the British Boxing Board of Control as he was handed a huge fine, which was pointed out by Groves.

Eubank Sr. added: "A lot of money? Some people don't earn that money during their careers but it's nothing to him because of the money that he's actually earning.

"But what he's doing is sending a message which makes a mockery of boxing.

"And you're not looking at that and I don't know why you're not looking at that."

The 58-year-old continued: "Their language is against the rules, their actions which is physical and outside the ring is against the rules.

"Everything - the weight - this is against the rules."

As referenced by Eubank Sr., the bout has been made at middleweight - but neither fighter can be more than 10lbs over the 160lbs limit when they re-weigh on the day of the fight.

Eubank Jr. has campaigned at middleweight recently, with his victory over Liam Smith being contested at 160lbs.

Benn, on the other hand, is moving up from welterweight.
