Chris Eubank Sr was absolutely furious with boxing pundit Simon Jordan during an interview ahead of his son's rematch with Conor Benn.

Just seven months after their thrilling 12 round scrap at the the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, bitter rivals Eubank Jr and Benn will once again face each other in the ring on Saturday night.

After a dramatic build-up the first fight, Eubank had his hand raised at the end of the first fight, winning the bout via unanimous decision.

However, given the fierce rivalry between the pair which was started all the way back in 1990 when their dads, Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, fought for the first time, an immediate rematch was booked for November 15.

Before the first fight between his son and Benn, Eubank Sr was massively outspoken against the bout, leading to several reports that he would not be attending it in protest.

Although the boxing legend did eventually attend, he is once again calling for the rematch to be cancelled, asking his son to consider cancelling the bout and retiring.

The 59-year-old's concerns come as Eubank Jr and Benn are scheduled to fight at a weight of 160lbs with a rehydration clause of 170lbs, a limit that Eubank Jr failed to make ahead of the first fight, leading to him receiving a fine of £375,000.

After the first fight, Eubank Jr had to receive immediate hospital treatment due to the harsh weight cut leaving him severely dehydrated.

However, this argument wasn't convincing for Jordan, who, while speaking to the British boxing great on talkSPORT, argued that his son had fought at middleweight for several years since 2019, and had struggled with his weight on several occasions.

He argued: "If he fights at middleweight for nearly seven years.

"The only boil down argument you had is when he was fighting at 157lbs [2022 cancelled fight with Benn, so can he fight at 160lbs now or not?"

But Eubank Sr was not happy with Jordan's comments, as he lashed out replying: "Absolute nonsense, you don't know what you are talking about.

"You don't know boxing, I can't argue with you, you don't know what you are talking about because you don't know boxing.

"You don't know it from inside, I have advised him to not fight at 160lbs because it is very dangerous.

"You need rules to protect the fighters from themselves, you people need to be holding them to account."

He continued: "It's against the rules, what you are saying to me is that, 'Chris Eubank can do that', he can but it is against the rules."

Jordan responded by claiming that it was not against the rules, pointing to Manny Pacquiao as an example of another fighter who regularly cut weight, but added that he understood Eubank Sr's argument from a moral point of view.

Despite his arguments against the fight, Eubank Sr reassured that regardless of his view, he will attend the rematch and be in his son's corner as he looks to beat Benn again.
